For several months now my messengers MSN & Yahoo, as well as Netscape and

connect mostly by DSL through my Network port but also via Wireless when I am
out and about. No matter how I connect, I still can't get them to work now.
Up until around August or around there my Yahoo Messenger worked fine but
stopped when I tried to upgrade to the next messenger. And when I tried to
revert back to the older version, it still would not connect. Ever since
Explorer 7 came out it has been trying to update to it but 7 won't work
either, only version 6 and I hesitate to upgrade anything anymore.

A couple of days ago I got a bunch of updates and when they installed my
Yahoo Web Messenger stopped working. I can receive messages but mine won't go
out to the recipient.
Just a few commands I have stored.. no reason for them to work. Maybe
one will help.

Flush DNS

Click Start, Run, type:

IPConfig /FlushDNS [Press Enter key]

NETSH

Click Start, Run, type:

netsh winsock reset

Press Enter key

Restart the system

You can also try this software download from a working machine:

Joe, Thanks for the input but it didn't work. I did everything in order you
suggested. I started with the DNS flush, and moved through the LSP fix
program you suggested. Nothing seemed to work. I installed every version of
Yahoo messenger I could get my hands on from version 6 on through to the
currently offered version. I am very frustrated with this and what makes it
worse is that I no longer have the recovery CD's from the manufacturer, they
were stolen, and the computer is out of warranty. Any other suggestions?
Anything I can look for or describe to help figure this out? I can build
computers all day long, but when it comes to diagnostics, I suck, lolol.

What firewall are you using? It might be blocking access. Try
disabling the firewall.

Already tried that, lol. Both firewall on, firewall off, included the
firewall exceptions, cleared and rebuilt the exception files. I am using the
standard Windows XP firewall.
