 I keep getting the error message for my Yahoo account:

 "Lost connection with server: Unknown error"

 Now the long story...

 I've been using Pidgin at home and work for quite some time with no
 issues.  I've recently gone to a new job and using their network, I am
 experiencing this problem of dropouts.  Yahoo will dropout every 5 to 10
 minutes.

 Given that I didn't have the same issue at my old work and never at home,
 I'm guessing it's to do with the network at my work.

 That's fine, but:

 1) My other Pidgin accounts (MSN, ICQ, Gmail and AIM) NEVER dropout,
 compared with Yahoo.

 2) The network at work doesn't seem to have any other connection
 issues...can surf/download real fast.

 So, is there something sensitive to network connectivity in the Yahoo
 protocol or its Pidgin implementation?

 This has been happening in 2.4.0 and the last couple of versions.
