there is a yahoo program, a web based applet and many 3rd party programs that will let you log into yahoo. can you access yahoo through a web browser? perhaps try trillian or some other 3rd party chat messenger? what kinds of error messages are you getting?

if its just an issue with the yahoo application then you should be able to log in through the website or through the 3rd party programs. if however you can not log in through the website or the 3rd party then it makes sense that its an issue with your account or your internet blocking the connection.

it sounds to me like while connecting you are timing out. your computer is sending and acknowledged reception of packets to slowly for yahoos servers. I have not used dial up in 10 years but i would expect that is where your problem lies. a slow connection form bad lines or just that you have to many other network programs running and its increasing your latency to high or causing packet loss.

go to www.pingtest.net and run that. it will tell you your pings and if you have any packet loss. packet loss is not good and means your data is not reaching the server or vice versa.

also open comand line via the run menu and type: ping www.yahoo.com

this will show you how high your ping is to yahoo's website. a normal ping is 50-70 a high ping is 100-300 and typicaly applications start to time out around 1000-1500 ping. anything between 150 and up you will notice laggy responce in web browsers.
