    My friend has a weird problem. He has three computers on a wireless network. With two computers OFF he goes into Yahoo on the third and Yahoo Instant Messenger comes up automatically. Then, when he's not even doing e-mail, he gets a message that says (paraphrased) "You are being signed out because you signed in on a different computer." Then it logs him off Instant Messenger. Any help appreciated.

    I dont use yahoo anything, but did he make sure he has logged out from the previous session?

    How long has this been affecting him?

    Can he log in frm any of the other computrs? [has he tried?]

    Or his account has been hijacked. Password stolen.

    I am afraid i have to agree on this one, its either your password has been stolen or someone knows your account details and logs in which in result logs the person who is in the account originally being signed out.

    Hope this helps
