Thanks for the suggestion. I tried pinging scs.msg.yahoo.com, but it didn't work. I used network-tools.com to get the IP address of scs.msg.yahoo.com. It returned 66.163.181.170, so I tried pinging that IP address from my laptop, and it worked. I changed scs.msg.yahoo.com to 66.163.181.170 in my Yahoo setting on Pidgin, and that solved my problem. I guess that for some reason my laptop doesn't like domain name addresses.
