Question : Local machine can't connect to Yahoo Games

We recently had to reinstall TCP on a Windows 2000 Profess desktop due to the NewDotNet deal.  Prior to doing this, user was able to connect to yahoo games server to play.  Since reinstallation of the TCP, this is the only desktop among 6 other desktops that will not load the yahoo games server.  No problems with any of our other usersand their computers.  I've tried checking to make sure the internet options are the same as the other desktops.  Do you know what all I need to check?  Thanks!  

Answer : Local machine can't connect to Yahoo Games

Have you tried using another browser (I know Yahoo Games may not support Nescape, but try it anyway). I think it's a problem with IE, so reinstall IE may help.
Here's the list I gathered, looks like many ppl having problem with yahoo games and IE.
1. Turn off proxy in browser.
2. Clear the object list (using hijackthis or general tab in IE Options).
3. Install DirectX.
4. Run SFC.
5. Reinstall IE.
6. Make sure some ports (11999) is not blocked. Firewall is turned off.
7. Uninstall things like Sun Java.
8. Install a network packet capture (Ethereal) and try loading the game. Post the result back so everyone can have a look. Most common ptoblem is a block port, then a outbound connection never pass through proxy.

And finally, run all adware scanner (PestPatrol and SpyBot are the most commonly recommended).
