Comment #2 states the code for MSN has changed and advices retesting.  What
about other affected protocols.  I am unable to connect to Yahoo.

I can connect successfully on my home network, but consistently get "Error
Message 17. Remote host closed connection" using my company's network.  This
may suggest DNS is part of the problem.

I found this bug:
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=45932

However, adding an entry for scs.msg.yahoo.com in /etc/hosts (with
nsswitch.conf set to use files first) did not help.

Perhaps Yahoo sends further hostnames to the client, provoking addition
hostname lookups.  If that were the case, then an entry for scs.msg.yahoo.com
would only fix initial connection, but not 2nd stage communication.  However I
don't (yet) know how the Yahoo protocol operates, so that could be far from
reality.

I can try capturing packets and debugging the client/server communication.  Can
someone point me to some Yahoo IM protocol documentation to aid debugging?

btw, using Kopete from KDE 4.2 on Kubuntu 8.10.

Thanks.
