I 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.
What firewall are you using? It might be blocking access. Try disabling the firewall.Just a few commands I have stored.. no reason for them to work. Maybe one will help.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.
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:
LSP-Fix

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.

Can you browse to different sites?
Have you tried running SFC? Click Start, Run, type SFC /SCANNOW, click OK. If any files are damaged or missing, they'll be replaced. You may need to reboot afterwards so damaged files will be replaced.
This article suggests more TCP repairs:

You might have to reinstall to get it working. The fact that two devices won't let you communicate, both DSL and wireless kinda' limits your options.
