Blog Chat Connection Problems
Here are some reasons why you may have connection problems.
- You are using a very old version of IE or Netscape. Only IE4 or above and
Netscape 4.08 or above is supported by jIRC applet.
- When the popup window first appears and asks for granting permission, the
user denies the request. Without such permission, the applet will not be able
to connect to any IRC servers around the world. It can only connect to the host
the applet was downloaded from.
- Some IRC servers deny connection from some ISP domains( due to abuse or
flooding coming from that domain). For example, some IRC servers do not allow
AOL users to connect. And some IRC servers require you to have Identd installed
and running on your computer (Identd is included in jIRC, and it is turn on by
default). There are thousands of public IRC servers available, you can always
find one that is friendly to your environment.
- IE browser allow users to modify its Internet Security Setting, if you are
not using the default security setting and disable the support of signed applet,
jIRC may not work properly. If this is the case, revert the IE security to default
medium level.
