The last time this happened to me Yahoo! Messenger folks said some kind of java problem. Nothing worked and I just switched to using Trillian :(\n\nOnly when I formatted my computer did things start working again.

there are two possibilities \neither u r behind a firewall that dose not allow u  to connect to messenger if yes u cannot be connected to yahoo messenger\nor \nthere is problem with the cookies,check and enable the cookies in internet explorer

Check your firewall. Usually firewall blocks yahoo chats.\n\nCheers!\n\nShaba

1. Check the ID and password and if not...\n2. check the server on the  connection and if not...\n3. re-start your computer and if not...\n4. re-install the AIM messenger. \n\nHope it helps. ;)

This sounds like an issue with the server.  You just have to keep trying until it allows you through.  Hit your refresh button every few minutes or so.

I am having the same problem. Seems yahoo did something to their system and have not resolved the problem as of yet. They just keep sending me garbage to make me feel better. It has been 4 weeks now since I have been able to get into chat or get my web cam to work and they are too stupid to figure out what is wrong. Have you tried contacting them? Go into the help pages and you can contact them through customer care. Good luck and if you get yours solved first, tell me how you did it.

Chat" and click "Join A Room" ...choose your chat room...go chatting!!!

Go to yahoo.com and download the messenger, it doesnt light up unless you are signed into that.  It doesnt light up for me unless im signed in to mine

try connecting direct from your text window. close the connection menu and just type \n"/server irc.phazenet.com"  Make sure to pay attention as it connects. If your nickname has been registered by someone else..change it before the server boots you..\n/nick newbie

This might not help, but trying won't do any harm...\n\nOpen your messenger and click on preferences (or hold Ctrl+Shift+P), and select the connections option.\nIf it's set to No proxies, change it to Firewall with no proxies, then select your connection settings, press apply then try to connect again.\nIf this doesn't work then try playing around with the preferences, but remember to return it to the original settings if nothing fixes the problem.\nIf all else fails, uninstall and re-install again, and if that fails contact Yahoo messenger help (F1 in messenger).\n\nGood luck!
