ymessenger on fedora core1
 

hi friends i am having problem with installing the ymessenger.
it hangs up with the "connecting..........."
and never connects
and i have also tried "gaim"
there was no error while installing the gaim but when i run it . it could not connect me
to the ymessenger (i am behind the firewall and can connect to the internet with the
same proxy address as it configured in case of gaim) can any body tell me what went
wrong with me


thanks in advance


bhupee

try turning off iptables to see if that is the problem:

as root, run:
if that doesn't work.... then it may be the proxy/firewall that you're running through.


hope i could help!!!!!!!!!!!!



:Pengy:

no it did not worked
 

thanks for reply but sorry it did not worked

can you post a snapshot of your /var/log/messages file when trying to connect using yahoo or GAIM? i'm curious as to if they are posting any error-based activity to your log file(s).
