They know you're planning to do naughty things on it, so the Australian authorities have blocked you.

Sometimes its a yahoo snafu, try signing out and back in again and have the other person do that too.

Once you have your webcam working outside of Yahoo Messenger you have to configure it to messenger open messenger - on top toolbar > messenger > preferences > connection - select 'no proxies' or 'connect direct to the internet' depending on the version of messenger you have make sure your internet connection and country are correct in bottom boxes > apply > ok test > messenger > my webcam - warning panel will come on click 'ok' and your webcam will launch. allow options messenger > preferences > webcam - make your selections about who you want to allow to view you in use - when you are both on line and wish to show your webcam > actions > 'invite to view my webcam' this will launch an invitation on your contacts screen when they 'accept' - they will see you ( can check status on bottom left of webcam panel there is a shortcut ( cam picture ) in toolbar and one down by your pic as well but these do not always work your contacts needs to configure their connection the same as above or they may get a "webcam not connected" message finally when your webcam frame is launched - on webcam frame toolbar- >webcam - select 'aways on top' and 'broadcast' any problems feel free to contact me - the last guy was an Iranian in Russia and we succeeded !!
