I had this very same problem with a computer: Safari wouldn't
load yahoo and stalled when trying to pull info from l.yimg.com. So I
installed Firefox. And it worked...for about 3 weeks. Then it quit. Same
thing. So I installed Google Chrome. No access. Three (3) browsers, same machine, no
access with the "connecting to l.yimg.com" flag in the corner.
As I was surfing for answers, I found one post that mentioned SonicWall
2040 as the culprit. We're running a SonicWall TZ210w at this site with
the Comprehensive Gateway Security settings in place--including
AntiSpyware. When I turned off the AntiSpyware piece, all of the
browsers blew right through and brought up yahoo with no problem.
My final solution was to set the two IP addresses I found associated
with l.yimg.com as allowed and I turned on the AntiSpyware function
again.
If you use it, I would remove Sonicwall from the configuration temporarily and see if its a sonicwall issue.
I'm not sure as I didn't spend a lot of time on
this, but my suspicions are that something being delivered by Yahoo from
those servers is seen as spyware. If you're having problems getting access to
Yahoo AND you're running some type of spyware tool, turn it off or
disable it.
I also have a report that a small cookie may be the problem.
Tanto70010, if you look cryptodan up in the
dictionary, it says cryptodan (noun): A very smart cookie that can be
found on the bleeping computer irc channel.
