Are you sure the Firewall allows the Messnger to make connections?

Try using Pidgin if possible :) -
Pidgin, the universal chat client

You really like Chaating (not a typo) don't you? :-D
Anyway, yeah, pidgin is one good multi protocol messenger. And is better, for those finding alternative to Yahoo's messenger, because of it's heavy memory requirement.
