Error connecting to Yahoo with Trillian
I was having trouble with the Yahoo service in Trillian (trillian-v3.1.12.0) it displayed the message below in the (Show status window from the Yahoo ball at the top of the Trillian window). To fix the problem I changed change the host to "mcs.msg.yahoo.com". I've included more detailed instructions below.
*** Reconnecting to Yahoo! as "qicboy" *** Will attempt 10 connections with 60 second intervals. *** Connecting to Yahoo! as "qicboy", attempt 1. *** Error while connecting (Error Code: 0). Disconnecting. *** Failure resolving "scs.msg.yahoo.com"! Attempting to connect to a known server...
- Select "Trillian | Connections | Manage my connections..."
- Select the "via YAHOO" connection and press the "Change..." button.
- Change the host to "mcs.msg.yahoo.com" and press the "Save Settings button.
- At this point you may need to select the yahoo ball and select Disconnect to cancel the existing connection attempts. Select Reconnect to establish a connection to the new server.
