 > Would a "packet capture" be helpful?  If yes, can you point me to
 instructions so I can get that to you?
 [[BR]]
 Yes, a packet capture is needed. Have you heard of Wireshark, its a packet
 sniffer, used to captured packets going through the network
 adapter(s).[[BR]]
 You can download it from here http://www.wireshark.org/download.html.
 I see you are using Windows, so a quick google search for a wireshark
 guide, provides me with this link
 http://portforward.com/networking/wireshark.htm. [[BR]]
 All you have to do is, install the software, run it, start capture
 (default settings are fine), then login to yahoo account while the
 specific user is online but doesn't appear in Pidgin. Wait for buddy list
 to loaded and status to be applied. Then stop the capture, save it to a
 file.[[BR]]
 You can attach the file to this ticket, or mail me directly at
 sulabh.dev at gmail.com if you are concerned about the privacy.[[BR]]
 Ask me for further details if needed.
