do not turn firewall off it could be dangerous try turning off your pop up blocker and see if this works hope this helps

if u don't know what it is and firewall is asking u to do something you should probably deny, just to be safe...it could be a virus or adware.

You have a firewall on.  If your at home its probably a software one, either norton or windows (both of which are easy to turn off).  If you are at work then the firewall is on for good reason so just leave it be.

try checking your connection preferences, you might have set it to no network detection, if you have then put it to no proxy, if you still cant connect then put it to firewall with no proxies

It may not be a firewall problem.Try unticking the "use proxy server box" and tick on the "automatically detect settings box" (in Tools/Internet Options/Connections-Lan Settings). It worked for me.

Is your firewall or security program blocking it?

The router/firewall at your job may not allow you to do this.  You may either contact the System Adminstrator to allow the program/port to be used.\n\nYou could always try going to yahoo messenger and clicking Messenger>>Prefences>>Connections then selecting whichever you need to.  You sound like you know about proxies, so possibly select "Use proxies" and figure out the required data by asking the adminstrator, or try the other selections--if they screw up, simply set it back to what it was originally.

all internet activities are allocated a port (like a frequency) and both sides must be open to that port to work the game looks on that port only and if your firewall blocks it then you cant communicate with  other gamers.\n\nthast entirely the point of a firewall - only allowing the communications channels or ports through that the company knows will be business use and safe!!

Hello!!\n\nMmm,  maybe  if  you  turn  off  your  windows  firewall  can  help  you. The  internet  shoul   work  without  firewall,  if not , maybe  you have  configured on  your  firewall  an  option  to block  all  traffic, you  should   disable  it.\n\nThe  another  thing  is  that  you  have   some  spyware  that  is  giving  you  problems   with  your  internet.  I  suggest  u  that  download  an antispyware tool  ( ad-adaware  can  be  a  good  one)  and  to  run  your  antivirus (  try  this  actions  on  safe  mode).

Check to see if you're being routed through a proxy.  Go to Tools>Internet Options>Connections>LAN settings to see.  If your computer didn't "fall off a truck," that's my best guess.\n\nBest of luck!

you may be behind a firewall unblock the port when asked

Fix this error / possible solution\n\nThis error also occurs when you are not connected to the Internet, so make sure you are connected.\n \nThe most likely cause for this problem is that your firewall does not allow MSN Messenger to access the Internet. This happens often if you install a new version of Messenger. Make sure MSN Messenger is allowed access in your firewall rules. \n\nThis error might also be occuring because there is a proxy server enabled in MSN Messenger while you do not use one. To remove the proxy settings, click the "Tools" menu and then "Options..." at your MSN Messenger main window. Then in the options screen click "Connection" in the list to the left. Next, click the "Advanced Settings..." button. You can try and uncheck all checkboxes in this screen except the one labeled "TCP" to let MSN Messenger connect through a direct connection. If that does not work you can restore the settings again by checking the boxes you unchecked before.

Here go here, they have all the answer to what you want to know, also make sure you have the latest version:\n\n\nYahoo! on a Router, Firewall or Proxy!\nhttp://www.helpbytes.co.uk/yconnect.php\n\n\nThough I must be honest with you!  There are reasons that your company has a firewall, using messenger will create a vulnerability, as it will need privileges to pass. I would just wait untill you get home !!!

Try looking back threw your privacy settings and go threw everything, also there are times that yahoo Msgr messes up and when I am talking with my friends it happens to me as well. \nIt really shouldn't have anything to do wither or not someone has the old Msgr or not. \ngood luck
