Default Cannot get Yahoo to respond

System: HP Pavillion - Genuine Pentium III - 667 MH
Windows 98 ME - 4.90.3000
128 MB RAM
Norton System Works - Lavasoft Ad-Aware - Spybot Search & Destroy

A 'not so close by' friend has problems connecting to Yahoo and/or do
anything when logged on to the Internet. I am not familiar with her specific
setup and, at the moment, this is all that I can make of it. She uses Alltel
to dial up to the Internet, but has Yahoo to handle other activities, such
as....mail.....URLs....,etc. She is able to log on to the Internet , but,
once there, nothing else happens.
A screen pops up that shows “ Yahoo Messenger�, and
“You are not able to log into Yahoo Messenger. Try Again�.
When trying to get into the Home Page by clicking on Internet Explorer
(IE6), a display says “Cannot Find Server�
When contacted, Alltel tried to help, but was not able to and eventually
suggested to contact HP support. HP, it appears, that, whether it can or not,
will charge $40 simply for talking to you and answering a couple of
questions. Other charges may be assessed for additional questions.
Yahoo, contacted by Email thru use of a mutual friend’s Computer, has not
offered any suggestions or answers.
This initial information is not clear, at least to me, but hopefully someone
may have some answers or suggestions.
Thank you!
