How to get chatroom to work?

[webwalker]

I said Yes to the download prompt, but upon clicking "Access The Chatroom" there is an error:
Unable to connect: java.net UnknownHostException : ccc.chaosempire.net
and that's all that happens.

Hi Webwalker

what versin of java plugin do you have?

Sun?

I use Sun 1.5.x at the moment, works perfectly

[webwalker]

From work (possible firewall issues) I have WinXP Pro SP2 (dell)
Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition 1.4.2_03
Default virtual machine version 1.4.2_03-b02
java Plug-in 1.4.2_03

Upgraded download to 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_02-b09)
Error message now is "Unable to connect: java.net.ConnectException : Connection timed out: connect."

I will edit this with data from home machine... win98SE

I think that you are right that this on your pc at work is a firewall issue.

I am getting the following error message definitly depending on our firewall at work.

Unable to connect : java.net.NoRouteToHostException : No route to host: connect

normally irc runs on port 6667
mostly blocked in comapnys
