Error 29 trying to connecting to Yahoo Messgner

Post by dpark »

Using 1.3.3b4 on Mac.

Cannot connect to Yahoo Messenger and get this error message:

Unknown error number 29. Logging into the Yahoo! website may fix this.

I've tried modifying the server to 66.163.181.106. Same error. Cannot connect.

I'm getting the same thing, and the JPEG that the link goes to is a CAPTCHA image.

Simply logging in at Yahoo hasn't fixed it. I'm now puttering around and will report anything I learn.

Looks like we've been mistaken for bots.

Hmmph. Logged out from the Yahoo web page and back in and now Adium works. Not sure why it took two. Just lucky, I guess.

Looks like CAPTCHA's gonna be some sort of a problem.
