Do you have a firewall installed that might be preventing it?
I think XP SP2 enables the firewall by default.
check if you are having the same problems with other IMs like MSN.

I think XP SP2 enables the firewall by default.
In fact, I have noticed that even some corporate hardware firewalls can't prevent Yahoo IM, but succeeds in blocking MSN IM.
I am not sure exactly how Yahoo IM communicates with the server, but I remeber reading once that first it tries to open a direct port and if it fails, it switches to HTTP.
HTTP is not blocked on most firewalls so Yahoo succeeds, while other IMs like MSN fail over firewalls.

pksatpathy, have you tried to login from another computer? If you can, you login is okay and you can try switching to another version. Search google and you can find various versions of yahoo messenger and other multiple messengers in one like indiatimes that include yahoo messenger in them.
