new version of yahoo messenger

just got the new version of yahoo messenger, but can't connect unless i disable norton firewall 2002. Any ideas anyone? I'd rather not have this disabled for obvious reasons!!

I use Zone Alarm Pro and Yahoo has three components: ypager.exe, yserver.exe, and yupdater.exe - the first two need server permissions.

Re: new version of yahoo messenger

The key components are ypager.exe, yserver.exe, and yupdater.exe - can you add ypager.exe and give it access to the Net?

[edit] Wasn't quick enough :D
