When I was using my home computer during my winter break, I was able to join the chat without any problems. But now that I've moved back to Chicago, I keep getting this message whenever I try to join:

QuoteUnable to connect : java.net.ConnectException : Connection timed out: connect

I'm assuming it's a problem with my computer rather than the server, but it couldn't be a problem with Java since Java seems to work fine for everything else. Anyone else have this problem? Or even better, anyone know how to fix this problem?

Try getting a new IRC client, that would fix any java error :)

Pidgin and X-Chat are said to be good.

Try using an IRC client? I'm not that tech savvy about this stuff but try using mIRC or Pidgin :I

EDIT fuck you Falcon >:0

Fuck you too
:taco: :taco: :taco:

I'm positive that it's not a problem with Java. Also, I tried using Pidgen, but I was still not able to connect. It said:

QuoteZylos@irc.rmrk.net disconnected
Couldn't connect to host

Am I doing somethin wrong, perhaps?

Since RMRK uses AcidChat, you could just go here, type /nick Zylos, then /j #crankeye.

:bean:

Zylos

Same problem there as before. It just won't connect.




Jack

That's really quite odd to be honest with you. The only suggestion I have left would be to approach AcidChat staff about it.

Edit:
Looks like a problem with your internet, set your bandwidth limit higher. :l

I looked there, but it didn't help. This is my problem:







Arrow

I can only assume that the applet is somehow blocked on that computer. Same thing happens at school for me.

Roph

try the temp chat that was setup during the server move: http://downloads.crankeye.com/tempchat/

Of failing that, just use a client =)

I've tried several different clients AND the link Roph gave me, but they all had the same problem: no connection.

This is beginning to piss me off. My internet fails...




Arrow

This is irksome...Are you sure the site isn't accidentally blocked in your Internet options, or that it isn't in a mistrusted sites list or something?
