Description Hussam 2008-12-24 00:00:18 UTC 
Version:           0.60.3 (using 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3) "release 66.2", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.0)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.18-0.2-pae

My Kopete is configured to connect to the different accounts on startup.
However almost always it does not connect to my Yahoo account immediately. It gives out a "name lookup failure" message.

I manually ping the address it tries to connect to: scs.msg.yahoo.com , and it works (so it is not a network issue).

Connecting to my Yahoo account only works after repeated clicking on the Yahoo account icon and switching the status to "Online" (it fails a couple of times, but then it usually connects after the third try).
