A google search turned up this:
quote........
Yahoo Instant Messenger =3F Users login to the centralised Yahoo IM service to
find other users. Once authenticated and online, users may choose to message
each other directly or through shared chat rooms. The default port for Yahoo
Instant Messenger is 5050 but the client is =3Fport-agile=3F and, if the port is
blocked, it will look for other open ports =3F next targeting the HTTP port
80. Just like MSN Messenger, the client supports HTTP proxies, but not HTTP
Proxy authentication. Note that file transfers and file sharing is commonly
done over TCP port 4443.
end quote...
Mayabe this will help you with firewall setup.
