Problem connecting to ICQ, Yahoo!, MSN with Tril..

[ebartlow]

I was digging aroundin Yahoo!'s registry settings and found the following servers that it connects to. I've tried them here at work, but still no luck connecting through Trillian. Maybe they'll be useful to some of you out there. They were all set to use Port 5050. I tried them all on Port 80 to no avail.

Well at this point your not going to get very far with y!
they have done something to screw up trillian.

I saw in the article at BBB's front page that trillian dev's are working hard to fix the problem.

As of three or four days ago I have not been able to connect to MSN. I use Trillian Pro 2.0 and have tried the Basic. Msn Mess. works. Tried reinstall and turning the firewalls off but no luck. Need some help.

Thanks quietbritishjim. That was the problem/reason.

The official (new) Yahoo server is scs.msg.yahoo.com port 5050 and it is working great for me. I am using Trillian 2.01 though.

From the Trillian FAQs:
Make sure that the date and year on your system clock is set properly.

i'm gettin this message when i try to get onto messenger:

*** Reconnecting to MSN as .......
*** Will attempt 10 connections with 60 second intervals.
*** Connecting to MSN as ...... attempt #1.
*** Lost connection to server. Err 0:0

it's annoying me and it's probably also annoying the moderators as this is the third post in which i've mentioned this.

Well, yeah . Did you try what I mentioned in the other thread?

I haven't read all the replys here, so maybe this was already mentioned, but I reciently upgraded to version i, and had problems connecting to Yahoo and MSN through Trillian.

I saw a suggestion on another forum that worked for me.

Right click the IM program in Trillian, and click "Connection Manager" for that IM program.

From there, select remove account. (Don't worry, you won't loose your friends list)

Now, enter your username and password again. Click Connect.

That's it.

For me, this fixed BOTH my Yahoo and MSN connection problems, and I didn't loose any of my buddy lists.

Good Luck,
