Yahoo Messenger #333

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load Peerblock w/ approx 30 lists
2. Load Yahoo Messenger
3. Try to login

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
You can't login to Yahoo Messenger. Have Search Engines on permallow. Have 
tried trial-and-error with the lists and used a packet sniffer to figure out 
what was going on, but can't.

What version of PeerBlock are you using? On what operating system? 32- or
64-bit? R404Beta 32bit XP PRO SP3.

Please provide any additional information below.  Make sure to attach
peerblock.log and/or any screenshots that would help explain your problem.

Nothing shows up in peerblock as being blocked.

Strange that nothing shows up as being Blocked in PeerBlock's main window.  Do 
you see anything in the history logs (View History)?  Do you see a blocked IP 
if you bring up a command-prompt and run the command "ping 3.0.0.0"?

This problem is with every version of PB, btw.

No, nothing shows up in either the main window OR the history logs as blocked 
for Yahoo.

And yes, I DO get blocks, for "General Electric Company".

Sounds as though the IP address(es) Yahoo IM uses are on one of your 
blocklists, just not labelled as such.  I believe the "search engines" list is 
more for the spiders those search engine companies use to crawl the internet, 
and as such is meant mostly for server administrators.  

What you'll need to do is look at all the IP addresses that show up as blocked 
when you attempt to use Yahoo IM, and try Allowing them one by one to figure 
out which ones are necessary for Yahoo IM to work.  You could then create a 
custom Allow List containing these IP addresses, or Permanently Allow them.

First you tie your feet together.
Then you notice you can't run anymore.

There is the same issue with ICQ/AIM which can be solved by downloading the AOL 
list and setting them to "allow" in PB.
