IRC connection problem

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:

Unable 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

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:

Zylos@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.

 

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

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

I'll go bug Jent about it.

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

I think your internet is failing.

lol bandwidth for irc, go learn internets

Zylos, Have a look at the sticky in this very forum =)

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

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

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

Of failing that, just use a client =)

He said he already tried.

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...

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?
