Um... 9050 is TOR and SOCKS5. 8118 is Privoxy and HTTP. see: http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO/InstantMessaging and/or http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/quickstart.html His problem is more likely due to Yahoo changing their protocol and breaking Pidgin yet again. It happens quite regularly. One of the many reasons I stopped using Yahoo.
