You can use jabber.iitsp.com to find a Yahoo IM gateway. I got stuck at #13 – logging in to Yahoo…when I was in the window I simply double-clicked on the Yahoo IM gateway and was able to enter my login information there. My contacts also came over on their own, but I had to click on each one and authorize/allow… I found a similar explanation that helped me figure out how to troubleshoot the problems I was having. You can possibly troubleshoot and find your way through by reading these instructions as well: http://mac.appstorm.net/how-to/internet-howto/usi… .

I’ve been using jabber.hot-chilli.net for my needs, as they’re served quite well.
Would it be that hard for Apple to incorporate Yahoo!/Win Live support?

I wish iChat natively supported Yahoo! as well.

I've been using meebo.com for an IM client that supports several IM services (Yahoo! is included). The video support is not very high quality, but I switch to iChat when I need to do any web chats. I am a big fan of the web-based Meebo service – they also have an iPhone/iPod Touch app which makes it very easy to use one source for all of my IM logins.

Ok I said it was so complicated, but it actually is more frustrating, because like others have mentioned, I couldn't find the Yahoo! settings, plus there are soooo many options to choose from, which is so confusing… wish apple would just make Yahoo and MSN natively supported on iChat…
