any idea how NAT traversal is done?
There's a paper explaining here:

I think that might make a good blog post.

I was asking how they are doing it from browser. But it appears that we need to install a local client :(
You need to install BrowserPlus - but that's an in-browser installation (without a restart) and is fairly seamless.
During the beta you also need to download/install a BP plugin. This is only because Yahoo haven't signed the plugin - and will install automatically when they have.

Yahoo BrowserPlus, works with about 85% of routers
It supports:
Windows XP & Vista
Mac OSX intel 10.4.11 or newer
