Chat Room ???

I havent been able to get into the chat room for over a week now, I get a Unable to Connect: null error.

Any suggestions?
 
I just tested the applet, everything seems to be working. Did you change anything (browser, service pack, etc.)? Are you behind a firewall?
 
it works fine for me, but I normally use mIRC. I assume you are using the web/java client? I know I cannot chat from work, I have to connect to home, then chat from there.

This happens on my computer too. I have yet to figure out what's causing this.
 
have you guys tried mIRC? I know jazappi has been online before, so it has to work!
 
Sorry it took so long to get back. So here is the update. SysAdmin says they are not blocking anything, I have turned off the windows firewall and still isn't working.

I took my laptop home, tried there, still getting the null comment. I was using the webclient, now I can't.

So that gives more details of whats going on.

Let me know what you think.

mIRC is the only thing that will tell me what the exact issue is since the error messages make more sense.
 
I tried the client...unable to connect to irc.marstracker.com port 6667

Here's my traceroute (dunno if this helps):

www.marstracker.com works for me. I tried going directly to irc.marstracker.com and I received this message after the applet loaded:

[12:42] *** Failed to launch Ident server : access denied (java.net.SocketPermission localhost:113 listen,resolve)

[12:42] Unable to connect : Software caused connection abort: connect

Try opening port 113 in firewall?
