recently i wanted to video chat with my friend but the yahoo messenger was not able to stream chat video to other side first it shows"Connecting" then after few seconds "Waiting to reconnect" then finally it shows message box saying "A network error occured while connecting to the 
server" for every 4 to 5 tries i was able to connect once though i was able videochat with yahoo im before i am frequently getting this issue from past 5 days, but when i searched for the solution i was suprised to see there were tons of people asking the same question without any conclusive answers.

1. Windows Firewall or Your Antivirus.
below is the yahoo help which you can configure your firewall and proxy settings
1. No proxies
2. Firewall with no proxies
3. No network detection.
if above thing does not solve the issue and you are using antivirus then try to add Yahoo IM in the trusted list of the antivirus or try disabling antivirus and firewall completely and try to reconnect.
2. If you are using old version of yahoo try to update to latest version and check for yahoo webcam compatibility test to know whether your webcam is compatible with yahoo chats.
3. Click on yahoo "Messenger"--> "Preferences"-->"Connections" select option -->"Connect directly to internet"--"Click ok" and restart yahoo msngr
4. Some say its a DNS issue just change it to OPEN DNS or anyother DNS available.
Though nothing above worked for me i guess either yahoo servers are too busy/down now a days or they are updating or fixing some software, let me wait for few more days if this continues i will ask my friend to switch to google chat which has smooth video streaming, if any of you reading this know possible solution whether it is problem with webcam or any other thing do share with us.
