Yep. Thanks for the info. Btw, symantec corporate inside my network detect that program as a malware/spyware, hence I can’t launch it. :(

Guess I’ll stick to meebone.

Hmm… I’m sure you know all this already but here is all the information regarding the yahoo messanger connections.

And here is a link to a program that says it can bypass firewalls for popular chat clients.

no, maybe my IT manager block address msg.yahoo.com that use by YM protocol. because the other account in my digbsy went fine (yahoo mail notification, gmail notification, facebook chat + notification).

Trying to change the host address and port number, still no luck, as the other host address still end with msg.yahoo.com. :(

My current solution is using Meebone (http://code.google.com/p/meebone/)+ adobe air, it use http protocol (+meebo server perhaps?).

Still I’m curious about connect to meebo server as my YM host.

As a *local* sysadmin here, i can do remote desktop too.

My workplace using skype as communication apps within staffs, while all my friends are using YM. :(

Maybe I can help – what are you trying to access and what errors are you getting? Are you using the standard ports or have you moddified them? How locked down are you? Can you remote desktop elsewhere?
