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
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).
