For the last few days I have had trouble accessing Yahoo Mail using both IE 5.5 and Mozilla Firefox v 1.0.1. In the case of IE, a blank page with "done" on the status bar appears followed by a delay of a couple of minutes before the Yahoo welcome page materialises. With Firefox all I get is a page of what seems to be programming data. I also use Mailwasher Pro and this connects immediately to yahoo bringing up inbox details. My Wife and Daughter also use Yahoo and have no problem connecting instantly using the same PC with either IE or Firefox.

After reading of Proxy issues elsewhere on this forum I decided to try specifying a proxy and opted for hudd-cache-1.server.ntli.net which has corrected the problem for me as far as IE5.5 is concerned. Changing the proxy on Firefox still results in the page of programming data. However if I then change proxy again to say cache 2 and connect to Yahoo, without entering ID and password my welcome page appears.

Can anyone suggest a solution to this puzzle, please?
