    "Sorry, you appear to be behind a firewall and are currently unable to use the Yahoo! Webcam service" <--this is the error, both instances, when I tried to view or let others view me...I'm using wireless net connection... I'm in a dead halt when I disabled my firewall but still I can't access my web cam or others :(
