GAIM errors (Connecting to Yahoo)

Has anyone else been having problems with connecting to Y!M recently? I've been getting GAIM errors since early yesterday and have had to fiddle with server and port every time I've tried to connect since then, though once I do manage to make a connection, it seems fairly stable. Any ideas what's going on? Is Yahoo! changing their servers around again?

ditto
what ports/servers you using to get connected?
tried swapping 5050 with 80 but no luck for me.

There are currently problems connecting via Adium to the default Yahoo server, resulting in the error "Unable to read." A temporary workaround is to change the Login Server to scsdcntest-c.msg.yahoo.com in the Options tab of each Yahoo account's preferences.
Still cannot connect with server scsdcntest-c.msg.yahoo.com

I had something weird happen with this..
I was connected fine..
then my 10.3.9 did a software update, rebooted and now yahoo wont connect. This is what updated: itunes, java, security and quicktime.
Maybe that will help..

I've had the same problem - and i tried everything...
reinstalling
restarting
checked prefs 3 times
I'm working on a 700MHz G3 iBook running 10.3.8; I've been hesitant to update to 10.3.9 or to install 10.4 because I run a few 3D apps that aren't happy with the new OS versions.... and now Adium is mucking around....
i am a less than happy camper at the moment.
Connecting to Yahoo with "scsdcntest-c.msg.yahoo.com&qu

Changing the proxy to scsdcntest-c.msg.yahoo.com worked for me. Thanks.
