Simple, the server is Busy in the evening with to0-many users .Also do check if your connection bandwidth is good.I doubt you get time out error cause of no response from the server.

I'm guessing you could be losing your internet connection.  That happens to me now and then, but then it just logs me back in.

I have the same problem! And... I have a lot of trouble signing in initially too... \n\nI reformatted my computer recently and re-downloaded AIM and it still has the same problems... I think its just their program. I stick to Yahoo! It works a lot better.

I was having this problem too. It might be your cookies. If you have them set high, then you really can't log-in anywhere. Just click on TOOLS, then go to INTERNET OPTIONS, then go to PRIVACY...I think. Anyways, you'll eventually find it. That should be the problem.

Re-log into Yahoo and retry...no one else is having that problem so it must be local to you.

Hi,\n\nThere are 2 reasons for this as I know it from my experience.\n\n1) Cookies, Try clearing your cookies, set your adware & malware programs to do that & also you IE to do it. Though this problem is very unlikely Yahoo & MS these days are acting cranky with all their Beta's going around.\n\n2) Your firewall is definitely the culprit. Try disabling your firewall & restart the messenger service. Remember you must end the service through taksmanager first & then restart the messenger from your start menu.\n\nApart from this if all these fail then try this. Log in to your yahoo account from IE or whichever browser you are using & go to account settings. Change your password there & signout. Relogin from your browser & logout. Now restart you messenger & try it.\n\nGood luck.

I've had the same problem with messenger in the past. It probably isn't anything you are doing wrong. More than likely all of yahoo messenger is messed up. Try contacting yahoo...there should be a troubleshooting site. I usually just either notify them or give up.

There is a problem with Yahoo! Mesenger today. Most users can't log in. But other Yahoo! services works just fine. Maybe they're undergoing maintenance or something.

Hi Iam also having the same kind problem (slightly diff). \n\nLet me describe more eloboratley. I am using Y! Messenger 7.5 with voice. My OS is XP. \nWhen i log in & click on Messenger|Chat|Join a room, a window appears allowing us to enter a chat room. But when i click a room & click "Join", a message appears saying "This request was refused" & after some time a message appears saying "Joining into room took longer than expected. Please try again later". \nBut when i try again later even after so many days, the same set of messages appear. I am running firewall. But that does not hinder Y! Messenger.\nPlease help us!

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

Please reinstall yahoo messenger. If ur using it in college, u need to put relevant http connection settings. U can get it from the college IT staff. Redefine the connection settings properly.
