Hi,
I ve been using pidgin for a long time now in my debian lenny box and
some ubuntu boxes. I ve found out that for the past one week, I am
unable to connect to Yahoo accounts using pidgin. Is there something
changed? do someone else face the same problem. My pidgin version is
2.4.3 on debian lenny system with all latest updates installed.
Go to your yahoo account settings in Pidgin. You'll see two tabs at
the top. Go to the second tab. There you'll find, "scs.msg.yahoo.com"
and a few other web addresses.. Open a terminal, ping all the
addresses separately and replace the addresses with the numerical IP
address you see when you ping.
Restart Pidgin and try connecting again..
HTH.. =)
