new version of yahoo messenger

hoggyspuds · 14-07-2004, 22:25

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.

hmm i run it with Norton Firewall 2003

did you set up rules for it to be allowed through?

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