Phoenix Drake,
In pidgin go to account, manage account, select yahoo, click on modify, then on
advanced.
There under Pager Server change scs.msg.yahoo.com by one of the address given
by digicloseup. It worked for me.

I have this same problem since June 18. I solve it with changing the pager
server to IP rather than domain name.

Yahoo just won't allow me to get in. I am no computer expert and Pidgin
is just upsetting me. I have been forced to use internet web browser
Yahoo just to connect. I have had this problem in the past and a system
reboot seemed to fix it when Windows was uninstalled and Linux was
installed.
Thanks for your answer. Since this seems to be no bug in pidgin I'll close this
bug. If you know which component causes the problem feel free to open a new
bug.
Maybe the DNS query gets blocked at work or something like this (are you
allowed to you use chat at work?) or you did not enter a DNS
The problem is also in Suse, Fedora and also at Kopete, so i make
changes like iserg in message from up and is working.

This seems to be a problem with upstream dns. In my case it is Time-Warner,
possibly blocked or blocking... (too large list of IP's possibly..).
My ubuntu box at work works fine.
I'll file this with them later on, but though I should share my
findings:
Example:
nslookup
server 66.75.160.64
Can you try this in a terminal?
$ ping scs.msg.yahoo.com
(You can abort with ctrl-c)
Do you get the ip?
Setting to incomplete.
** Changed in: pidgin (Ubuntu)
Status: New = Incomplete

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried pinging scs.msg.yahoo.com, but it didn't
work. I used network-tools.com to get the IP address of scs.msg.yahoo.com. It
returned 66.163.181.170, so I tried pinging that IP address from my laptop, and
it worked.
I changed scs.msg.yahoo.com to 66.163.181.170 in
