 Replying to [comment:12 tirkster]:
 > I've also started having this problem in Windows XP with pidgin 2.5.5
 over the last couple days.  The ipconfig /dnsflush seems to work, though
 it's not a permanent fix and sometimes you have to do it a few times
 before it works.  I don't seem to notice this problem while in Ubuntu, but
 I can't remember the exact version of pidgin being used there at this
 time.


 Thanks for that I had to do ipconfig /flushdns 3 times before it worked .
 This has been a problem for the past 3 days for me also (yahoo im
 destroying connection)
