I cant connect to yahoo messenger. I changed to fiewall no proxies but it shows me as using dialup.?

Im using dsl….I am not able to highlight it to change it. What can I do?

Can’t connect thru firewall, can’t change setting for conn. type?

I can’t connect to YM, and when I look at the connection settings dialog, it looks like it thinks I have dialup. I don’t, I have DSL. It is greyed out though, so I can’t change it. Changing to different options such as firewall with no proxies hasn’t changed anything yet. How can I connect?
I can’t figure out how to reply to that first answer, so I’ll do it here – I’m connected to the internet. I am currently using IE browser to get to Yahoo Answers to ask this – YIM still is not connected.

In my connections under preferences, it says my home country is Antiqua, I live in USA?

Everytime I reset it and Yahoo Messenger reboots, it comes right back as Antigua, I don’t know how to successfully change it. I have dialup connection, and I have checked no proxies

messenger keeps dropping me after five minutes?

yahoo IM keeps dropping me after five minutes or so. I am running windows xp on mozilla firefox. My dialup connection reports 46.4 bps for connection speed. all popup blockers are turned off, there are no proxies to contend with. a microsoft firewall is the only thing connected. java is enables and security is to accept all cookies.
