If your computer is connected to a LAN that routes through a proxy on
the other side of the firewall, you do not have to fill out the proxy
info for Pidgin.

 my query too stupid?
 Why are the proxy options given in the latest pidgin version when it
 cannot
 be used?
 
 You failed to provide any useful information as to why it isn't
 connecting.
 
 See http://d.pidgin.im/wiki/TipsForBugReports and get a debug log from
 the failed connection attempt.

There is nothing useful here for determining a proxy related problem;
your debug log doesn't contain an attempt to connect to yahoo.

However, the following line indicates that there is something wrong
with the SSL configuration (which is now necessary for yahoo).  Did
you get a SSL support unavailable message?

 (03:31:50) sslconn: Unable to initialize SSL.

 I am behind a LAN network that connects to the internet through a proxy
 (which requires username  and password). Since the time Yahoo decided to
 suddenly change its protocols (password authentication program) I have had
 no luck being able to log onto yahoo through  my linux. For some time in
 between I could log on through an older version using some other pager
 fields. But even that has not been working since many months. I didnt
 require much messaging and so I forgot about it and went on to use web
 messenger. But now I have decided to again work on this problem so that I
 can once again use pidgin.
 
 After I came to realize the yahoo's plans to do modification, I upgraded
 to the latest (then) pidgin version 2.5.8 and tried to log on again; but
 with no luck. Later I read in the official news site of pidgin (for
 version 2.5.8) that those behind proxy cannot login no matter what.
 
 My question is : does that still hold? Will I still not be able to log on
 to yahoo in the latest versions. From my experience, after downloading the
 latest version 2.6.4, I've had no luck again. I wonder why the proxy
 fields are given when they are useless?
 
 Is there any way to sort this problem out?
 
 If not, can anyone please direct me to some other messenger for linux
 through which I will be able to chat on yahoo.
 
 Thank you.
 
 


I forgot to mention that I use Linux exclusively so please avoid giving
solutions for windows or any other OS (I guess windows already doesn't  have
this problem).
