Comment:

 It is entirely possible that 2.6.6 will connect on your network, however
 that doesn't necessarily mean that there is anything wrong.

 There have been changes to make the login process more robust and more
 similar to the native client that have an unfortunate side effect of
 causing complications for people such as yourself who are on restrictive
 networks.

 It looks like it is likely your network blocks outbound traffic on port 80
 (which is the port for standard web traffic) (or at least it is blocking
 the connection to that particular server on port 80).
 You can verify this in a terminal by running `telnet vcs1.msg.yahoo.com
 80` - I'm pretty sure you'll see that it doesn't connect on that network.
