Hi
My yahoo messenger does not connect for the last two days. is there any way i can find out why it is not connecting?

Maybe it is being blocked by your firewall. If not... try uninstalling and reinstalling, perhaps its just corrupted.

you can find a tool that will do what you're looking for here...

http://www.netmon.org/tools.htm

try using the web version (IM client) to see if its your account or application that's hosted.

try using a different/older version

have you tried to perform a system restore prior to the past two days?

double click on the network adapters icon under network connections.. this will also display the number of packets receieved & transmitted in real time.

(try watching the two little computers on the network connection. one of the computers blink when packets are transmitted & the other blinks when packets are received.)
