    Default Trouble logging into chat

    When I click on the "Chat" link, it always fails for me; I never get in. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks

    don't know if it has anything to do with your problem, but when I click on chat I get a popup that says "Several Java virtual machines running in the same process caused an error". Then if I proceed it says I need Java 1.4. I suppose the second error is just collateral from the first.

    I've given up on chat for the same reason that Chris experienced. When I queried a Mod about it, I got no answer.

    Do you guys have firewalls enabled? I cannot get into the IRC chat at work because of the University firewall.

    I also could not get into the chat at home because of my firewall settings - I had to change them from "High" to "moderate" and then things worked.

    All of those are good suggestions.

    Quick.. It sounds like you have Java issues. reinstalling or upgrading Java should fix that. You can also download any IRC client (Chatzilla, MIRC). I'm sure some other favorites will be posted here. Anyone can PM me if they need any direct troubleshooting.

    Thanks
