Yahoo! Instant Messenger will not connect

[judgehopkins]

On my server (which I had to reboot) Yahoo! Instant Messenger no longer works and it will not work on any of my terminals.

Does rebooting cause some of the IM settings to change?

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Please, if you need more info, tell me what you need. Thank you for your time.

Explain "no longer works".

No longer works" means that Yahoo! Instant Messenger will not connect on some terminals; on the terminals where it does connect, it stays connected for a few minutes and then, for reasons unknown to me, disconnects.

Thank you for your time and interest.

Is this an AD environment?

If you have to ask then it isnt.

Check the application logs in event viewer first.

Do you have a firewall installed?

As y'all probably know by now, Yahoo! was "upgrading" (computer talk for "screwing up") its site and caused problems worldwide.

Thanks for your time.
