Thanks again Freddie and Pradeep :).
But I knew that the problems I faced were due to the “firewall with no proxies” connection. But as I said before, I was able to connect with “No proxies” on my previous machines. But only I am not able to in a computer where a person used to login before. So, I think it may be due to multiple users logging in the machine. I have deleted the other user’s profile, and all details from the computer. But it has been no help. If only I am able to connect with “No proxies” then there should be no problem. Any suggestions anyone?
Also, Freddie, to answer your question, I think my computer is connected the same way as any other computer in the network. So :(.
Freddie, as you suggested, I will try to contact the admin about the firewall but somehow I don’t think that’s the problem. Let me state why:
Firstly, the person previously using my current computer was a friend. I have never heard her complaing about the same problem. She was using Yahoo msgr too and I saw her recieve messages all the time.
Secondly, if there’s some firewall problem, it should be applied to all the computers in the workplace right? But I have seen my neighbours and friends having connected as “No proxies” and yahoo is working perfectly well for them.
Thirdly one of my friends faced the same problem. He formatted his machine and installed yahoo msgr again and was able to connect with “no proxies” and its working out well. Its just my being adamant that I won’t format my machine maybe the problem ;).
So, I don’t know whether the asking the admin will work out, because it was one of the admin who suggested that I connect with “Firewall with no proxies”. So repeat Heeeeeeelp 🙂
Thanks Freddie :D, but “No network detection” is not working for me, it says cannot connect please try again or change proxy settings. I had already tried this before.
Also I can ping scs.msg.yahoo.com from my machine. I have noticed that that’s where it tries to connect to. Please heeeeeeeelp, because its as if I have lost a limb, if you know what I mean 😉
I also wanted to add that I can send instant messages, and the received messages (received long time back) usually pop-up after I message somebody or as offline messages when I disconnect and connect again. Also, some times, I recieve messages. The behaviour is very random and I cannot figure out where’s the problem 🙁
