I did the hard reboot by shutting down the modem overnight. It pulled a new IP address… SAME PROBLEM. but something weird did show up. I happened to go to RUN and in the run box there was “telnet vc.yahoo.com 5000
I did not type this….Is this a hack?Richard
I am so sure this can’t be a hack. How can so many people having the same problem. I have feeling since yahoo have done so many changes they might have bloked the ports or from charter side. I called Charter too. Charter is the worst ISP you can have but no choice for us. All the people are effected so don’t worry about hacks. Its just waste of time.
Okay…I’m not quite there yet but I’m getting warmer for sure…please go to website http://www.securitynewsportal.com/cgi-bin/vulns.cgi?target=2719 and follow instructions for the Voice Chat Control Buffer Overflow Vulnerability. I went to “run” and typed in that file and it said “succeeded”. Now when I go to voice chat, I’m getting a voice error. When I tried the audio wizard, the “conference” part told me to reinstall the new yahoo or a DCom file from Microsoft. I’ll keep you guys posted. Wish me luck. Sally
😡 I was going crazy looking for my problem and I see I am not the only one with voice problem.I to have Charter as my ISP,and all the problems that have been talked about,I have.I have contacted Charter and so far there response to me was its a yahoo problem….I think Charter needs to wake up and look into this…..I will keep looking and I hope someone comes up with a solution soon…..I guess I will try unpluging modem…thats about all I didn’t try yet……Peace
:)By the way I forgot to mention in my previous post that I have a friend in Ohio,and I gave him one of my yahoo accounts and pass to log in with.He IM me back that he was able to connect to voice server and had no problem….Peace
I am having the same problem, and I too live in South Carolina, and am with Charter. They told me it was Nortons, and AVG that were blocking the ports 53 and 550, then they told me to call Nortons and have then unblock those ports for yahoo voice chat, so that I can access it. I think this is BS!!!! I have battled with this for a week, and I am sooooooo mad!!! Charter blames E1 else but themselves! There has to be something going on with Charter. I called them just now, it said there wer outages in my area, and if thats true, how can I be on here????? Hope Someone can find the “cure” for this! Gl to all of us!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
I called Charter tonight, they told me that they have blocked some ports, because of an email virus, and won’t unblock til the virus is gone. I think I will look for another ISP!!!! :(:mad:
ok yall for those with the voice chat for yahoo…its locking down b/c charter has locked out ports that use the voice chat b/c of the new virus out..there not sure when it will open again..in other words there punishing everone b/c all the freakin lammers dont know how to use a aint-virus scan..go figure…./……/…any questens you can call charter are and complan….:mad::mad::mad::mad:
I have been able to verify through another charter user that Charter is blocking ports that yahoo uses for voice due to a virus problem. I would suppose that the ports will be opened up soon, but Charter refuses to take the blame. My advise is to be patient and wait till the virus issue is resolved then Im sure the ports will be reopened. DSL is an alternative but the setup costs are high, and download speeds are problematic. So I guess we will have to wait for CHARTERHEAD to get its act together.

go here ok yall I but this up after I found a lot about this https://bigblueball.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=12723
I’m still having problems. I’m getting a voice error now instead of getting booted from chat. I tried installing the new messenger and also the DCOM file from Microsoft. Still no luck. I’m hoping somebody can figure this out soon. I have Norton anti-virus and crashguard. Is everyone here using Norton by any chance? I’m still on dial-up with a local ISP, so Charter is not my problem. Anybody with suggestions? Thanks. Sally in Louisiana
:(The only ports that Charter is blocking to date are 6667 thru 6669.
Does your voice mail use those ports? These ports are being blocked to
protect our Servers from the Netsky Virus and will not be unblocked until
the virus threat is over.If you have any additional questions regarding your Internet service or
need further assistance with it, you may contact us by calling the
telephone number listed on your bill or work order. Additionally, you can
find your local contact information on the web at:

This is what I got back in an email from Charter todayi found this on the net, please read.http://www.guru3d.com/newsitem.php?id=1204
I have talked to Charter once again, they tell me that the ports 6667-6669 do not affect Yahoo Voice Chat. Yahoo uses Ports 5000 to 5010, so if anyone can try to get any ideas as to what is wrong, please post, I am so mad right now that I want to delete yahoo messenger altogether. Could it be my sound card? I have RealtekAC’97 for my sound, that came with my pc. Is there something better???:(
