There may be two reasons.. \n\n1. your firewall may not be allowing it.. disable firewall..\n2. You may be using internet through a proxy server.. you can set the address of proxy server in yahoo messenger.. In the preferences menu

are you going into chat by the way of messenger.. click tools at top of messenger, scroll down 2 chat, click it.. if that doesn't work, maybe you need 2 reboot or refresh messenger, by clicking view at  top of messenger and then click refresh  : )

May be somebody have blocked yahoo chat program on yr PC or else your messenger is currept. Uninstall it and install it again online. Dont forget to remove Yahoo! folder from the program files.

Have you recently downloaded the new yahoo messenger? That happened to me and a few friends of mine after downloading it. You may have to uninstall it and see if that corrects the problem

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

I am using IM...no problem. If you have problem you reinstall it. You can chat with me when I am on line..otherwise send an offline message. I will answer you.Check your account setting.

Check your connection. Messenger should have a link in the bottom that checks what's wrong. Check the proxy in your msn, if you have a firewall it might have started to block it or just block the proxy and doesn't let you connect.good luck

Are you using the latest messenger version (Messenger 8 Beta)?  I think this is a problem with only the beta version.  I believe the messenger team is working on a fix that should be available very soon (a few hours?).

I don`t know what exact cause of your issue is but I suggest to you perform these stages :\n1-Wait . Sometimes this is a ISP or Server problem.\n2-Check . Perform an online virus scan for viruses.\n3-Again. Uninstall yahoo messenger and install it again.

1) Try reinstalling it.\n2) If it doesn't help, wait until another day to talk to your friend - sometimes it acts up because of internet connection that day (happened to me).\n3) If it still doesn't work, use Yahoo!Messenger with voice instead.
