First check to make sure your firewall isn't blocking the connection. This can happen when a program changes. YM will do automatic updates if you haven't disabled that so-called feature. If YM updated to a new version, then your firewall may not recognize the new "program" and may not be allowing it access. I'm not familiar with ISA firewall so I can't help you with specifics.
If it's definitely not your firewall, then it could just be that Yahoo is doing maintenance on the servers that serve your area. One way to find out a little about what Yahoo might be doing is to visit the blog that Yahoo has concerning YM at http://www.ymessengerblog.com/blog/ but they often do not announce when they are doing maintenance on their servers that might adversely affect YM users. If things still do not work right, you may have had a .dll file corrupted which is affecting your YM program. If that is the case, then you might need to uninstall and reinstall YM. Here's how I recommend doing a full and clean uninstall/reinstall... http://lennyvasbinder.blogspot.com/2007/11/how-i-always-do-clean-instal-ofl- yahoo.html.
