When I try to set up Yahoo chat, it fails to connect.

The debug log says:

check that port 5050 is enabled in your router and firewall.

Thunderbird is whitelisted in the firewall

Using port 5050 gave me the same results (failed connection) but since I have several computers behind the router, I used a different port, for which I set up a forwarding rule on the router.

Anyone?

So I tried making an new profile, which did not hep. Then I tried reinstalling TB, which did not help either. Then I downloaded a portable version of TB and tried it (it installed lightning, the upgrade didn't) but it also didn't work.

Yahoo's own client works without a hitch.

Asking on Mozilla Support didn't get results either. Is there no one that can help me investigate this? Or any other site I can ask on?
