Right, because sip@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is not the kind of entity that will acknowledge your presence subscription request (it's a chatroom, not a "normal" IM client/account). > This is from my gtalk interface.

You should expect to join the chatroom if you follow the spec for XMPP chatrooms: http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html > Has anyone done this > using a gmail account? Many thousands have, yes. But I don't know if the standard Google Talk client for Windows in fact supports XEP-0045, so you might need to use a more full-featured XMPP client; there is a list here: http://xmpp.org/software/clients.shtml > How do I join this chatroom Sir?
