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.
