Yahoo switched off their Java chat, so now you have to use Messenger to connect.\n\nhttp://chat.yahoo.com\n\nWith the change, their servers are probably overloaded.  Hopefully, the problems get sorted out soon.

I find your question a bit incomplete...\nI am explaining all the possibilities; please see which suits you:\n\nCASE I:\nYou have a toolbar installed (like Google Toolbar/Yahoo! Toolbar/MSN Search Toolbar/etc.)\n\nThere will be a separate button on the toolbar which displays the status of pop-up blocker (how many blocked, blocking/allowing and so on). Click on that button. The mode will automatically change to "Allow Pop-Ups". It will not block any pop-ups for THAT PARTICULAR SITE.\n\nCASE II:\nNo toolbar installed; using Internet Explorer 6/7\n\nGo to Tools > Internet Options > Privacy tab and then uncheck the "Block Pop-Ups" box. You're done!\n\nPlease feel free if your error is still not resolved. I like helping people!\nConnectionzOnline@yahoo.com

Yes, there may be a problem with a firewall setting. \n\nMake sure the firewall recognizes the Yahoo and that it is on the OK list.\n\nOpen Windows Security Center, click on Manage security settings for Windows Firewall. \n\nMake sure the "Don't allow Exceptions" box is not checked!\n\nNext, click "Exceptions" tab at the top and make sure Yahoo FT Server and Yahoo Messenger is on the list.\n\nIf this does not work, install Yahoo Messenger and reinstall it.\n\nHope this helps....

I'm not a computer export but check and see if your internet setting is blocking the site. If it is then unblock it. But if its not then im no sure what to tell you, it opened it for me. So im not sure what the problem is. But if you need more help feel free to buzz me....  dandyrandy20042005

YOU ARE BLOCKED.  Solution, buy your own computer and be its administrator, amen.

There should be a way for you to block the other user.  I did it today.  When you put your mouse over each individual name does a box pop up? If so, on the bottom of the box does it say "you appear online to this member"? or something else if something else use the drop down box to change it to the setting you like.  OR  Try right clicking on the persons name and go to "stealth settings"  and click on Permanently offline.  If you need more direction let me know

Setting up Firewall & Proxy Ports \nIf you are connecting to the Internet from behind a firewall and/or proxy server, you may have trouble using our chat software. To get around this, you can contact your system administrators to request that they give you access to our servers. If you do not have a system administrator, please contact the company that made your firewall for further assistance in accessing our servers. \nThe default settings for our Chat servers are 8000-8030. You will need TCP inbound and outbound access for these ports.\n\nIn order to use Yahoo! Chat's voice feature, your firewall must permit outgoing TCP connections to vc.yahoo.com on ports 5000 and 5001. \nIf you use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, you will not be able to use the voice feature.

Your computer seems to have a firewall which is blocking the messenger from connection. In case you detect a problem with the new Yahoo messenger, you can download older versions of the product. You can download older versions of Yahoo Messenger from the following sites : \n\n(1) http://www.freecreed.com/ymsgr-archive.html\nIt provides 48 different versions\n\n(2) http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=yahoo\nIt provides 5 different versions 48 versions\n\nOlder Versions is faster in speed to download, so go after it if you are not seeking any specific version.\n\nIn case you want to use the messnger facilities without downloading, you can give a try to the following web based messenging websites :\n\n(1) http://www.meebo.com\n(2) http://www.e-messenger.net\n\nYou don't need to download or install any software if you use them. This wouldn't be blocked by firewall in general

Only thing you can do is to chat in your Browser. \nLogin to your gmail and chat. \n\nIf even that is blocked , use one of these sites and make sure your Admin does not know it. (else he will block these sites too).\n\nOnline Browser Chatting\nhttp://www.ebuddy.com/index.php\nhttp://www37.verticalimits.uni.cc/index-en.html

I have the same problem at my company, messengers are blocked by a proxy server, i solved it by using "Gaim"\n\nGaim uses the http method, it connects to the server as the browser does, if browsing is allowed at the company, this messenger will work for sure\n\ndownload from: http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gaim/gaim-1.5.0.exe\n\nP.S: Remember to check "use http method" box in the options dialogue

DSL is nothing more than a transport to the internet...it can't prevent you from accessing specific websites therefore AllTell would not be able to assist you in unblocking anything.  If I were you, I would attempt to use a different browser (Firefox, Netscape, etc) when trying to access this chat room.  Either that or your router itself (if you're connected to one) is set not to access certain sites which again, would be up to you to reconfigure.

It might be your DSL's firewall. I would contact your DSL company and ask them how you can configure your firewall to allow yahoo messenger. It could also be a firewall that you have installed yourself and maybe you blocked yahoo messenger by mistake.

Well, this is pretty normal.\n\nThese messengers softwares are free, but they earn money by allowing advertisers to advertise in their softwares.\n\nWhen this kindof thing happens, just expand the chat-room window, then everything will be fine.\n\nThere was a software that disables or replaces this bar, with some other bar.\n\nSearch "YAhoo utilites" in google, you might get it.

You don't.  Usually a company uses block filters based on the company's website rating, but in my case, my company blocked any site with the word "myspace" or "mail" and I can't get to anything like that (for example, yahoo mail or hotmail).

the site is fine, there is nothing wrong with it. the blocking is hapenning at your end:\n\nIf you are at school or at work, it means the system administrator, who makes rules on who uses the internet and how.\n\nif you are at home, either a firewall or a child locking program are blocking you. maybe ur parents?\n\nI am able to access the website fine :)

I would check the security on your computer.  Sometimes websites require Flash, Java, Shockwave or even run off pop-up ads that may be blocked.  Also, any firewalls could also be an issue.
