Hi,

For this error, "The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized", it contains the following sub status code:

    401.1:  Access is denied due to invalid credentials.    

    401.2:  Access is denied due to server configuration favoring an alternate authentication method.

    401.3:  Access is denied due to an ACL set on the requested resource.

    401.4:  Authorization failed by a filter installed on the Web server.

    401.5:  Authorization failed by an ISAPI/CGI application.

    401.7:  Access denied by URL authorization policy on the Web server.

he remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

As it states, the unauthorized error is returned from the remove server, which is the yahoo end. It's not relevant to asp.net. Please post your question on the below forums
