Problems Connecting to Yahoo Messanger w/ Pidgin
If you’ve recently have had problems logging into your yahoo account you may not be the only one. california treatment centers . On my systems all of a sudden it stopped working and once I added the host entry bammm it worked.. hospitals in san diego . remax.com homes for sale . (was able to ping the name just fine, so forward lookups were ok..) But here’s what I had to do: Add:66.163.181.173 scs.msg.yahoo.cominto /etc/hostshave fun, hope it helps someoneUPDATEAlso see the comment below from James, you can also upgrade to Pidgin 2.5.7 which fixes the issue. You can upgrade using the following repository: sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Community/openSUSE_11.1/ GNOME Communitysudo zypper mr -r GNOME Communitysudo zypper up -r GNOME CommunityThanks for the update James.. do you know what caused it at all?



…or you can update to 2.5.7 – for openSUSE, it’s in GNOME:Community

Doesn’t seem to work for Easy Peasy yet. I’ll have to wait for the update to become available.
@Nicole
What version of Pidgin is on easy peasy? and did you put the said line into /etc/hosts?
@James Ogley
Thanks james … worked like a charm ….
Great article. Your material has obviously been researched in depth and you’ve done a wonderful job presenting your points. I agree on most but am on the fence on others.
Hmm i hope you dont get annoyed with this question, but how much does a site like yours earn?
