Comment(by pEEf):

 (version: 2.56 win32) This was happening to me a few months ago, then it
 cleared up on it's own.  Now it's happening again.  The only way I can
 connect is by using 66.163.181.166 as chat server, then everything works
 normally.  Is yahoo really upgrading their servers?  If so, what's that
 mean for us Pidgin'ers?
