Answer:

Please check your connection setting from Internet Explorer Option. INTERNET EXPLORER --> TOOLS --> INTERNET OPTION --> CONNECTION on DIAL UP and VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK SETTINGS, choose which connection you use now, then click on Setting on the right side, then ONLY PUT CHECK on AUTOMATICALLY DETECT SETTING. on another setting, make it clear/empty check. the save the setting. then try to sign in you Yahoo Messenger.
