Go here and found out not only me is a victim of Yahoo

I have a fix! It's dirty, but works!
We can't amend hostname in RTComm from scs.msg.yahoo.com to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com, but we can spoof DNS...
Add the following line to your /etc/hosts file (after making backup of course!!!)
Code:66.163.181.166 scs.msg.yahoo.com

Too bad we can't install nano or gedit to be able to edit the hosts file directly, or at least not that I know of.

Thanks. I didn't know that was the case. Also, it seems like the servers are starting to get upgraded one-by-one. It's only a matter of time until there's no Yahoo! support on Pidgin unless someone compiles a new version.

Also, can someone point me where I can find detailed instructions on how to update the host file. I'm a newbie with all of this, so any help would be appreciated.
