Enable the %26quot;Firewall with no proxies%26quot; option.

Enable the %26quot;No network detection%26quot; option and then click the %26quot;OK%26quot; button at the bottom of the window.

Enable the %26quot;Use proxies%26quot; option.
Enter your firewall or proxy server's address and port number. Contact your network administrator (if you're at work), or your Internet service provider (if you're at home) to determine the correct firewall and proxy settings.
Click the %26quot;OK%26quot; button at the bottom of the window.

If you try all of the steps above and SBC Yahoo! Messenger still can't connect, contact your network administrator, Internet Service Provider (ISP), or the person who initially set up your computer to ensure that your firewall and/or proxy settings are correct.I'm trying to sign up with voice messenger.
