gaim - can't to connect to yahoo account


I have a problem with connecting to yahoo messanger by gaim.

It says: my_yahoo_account_name has been disconnected.

Msn-messanger account works perfect, though.

the version for gaim is : 1.3.0

My distro is FC2 and I have updated gaim to 1.3.0 from 1.2.1 with rpm-file.

The settings for Yahoo options under account is as follows:


Pager HOst: scs.msg.yahoo.com
Japan Pager host: cs.yahoo.co.jp
Pager port: 5050
File transfer host: filetransfer.msg.yahoo.com
Japan File transfer host: filetransfer.msg.yahoo.co.jp
File transfer port: 80
Chat Room List Url: http://insider.msg.yahoo.com/ycontent/
Proxy type: No proxy

I am behind a router but does this have something to do this... ?

Any help is appreciated...

I just had that problem to. Try connecting again. If that doesn't work, double check your password and account name. If that doesn't work, ^_^, try going to the gaim site and upgrading.

I also felt the problem. It is totally on Yahoo's end and they sometime changes their protocol to compel to use yahoo's own software.
