HC,
Been able to narrow it down to some ISP being allowing in and some not.
Could be an address class problem, class c vs b vs a networks, or as I suspect more to do with the tracking server they use redsherrif.
Try and find out which ISPs work in you area.

Couldn't get in using my Mum's Australian ISP (TPG). I can get in no probs using my UK ISP. I haven't tried to get in with the new lil iBook in the UK. I'll do that later after I've seen the big fella.

Henry, I still cant get in either. I have done everything I can think of, and still the applet cant be found. I am having no java problems anywhere else.
Perhaps as suggested it is an isp issue, but i have tried 2 and neither work and i dont know how to find out if the problem is from here
I have no idea what to do but wait. Any suggestions anyone?
There seem to be more people having problems all the time.

ISP and chat connection
Sent this PM to deltafoxtrot, LMM, tinpis, Jerricho, ZK-NSJ, criticalmass, Techchick, Chaffers as they indicated they cannot get into chat.
This is been sent to you as you have indicated you are having trouble logging into chat.
I have put together a FAQ for chat, http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthr...54#post1204954
For others that I have actually talked to with MSN, their ISP cannot get into the chat server.
To see if this is the case for you, run the tracert host6.digichat.com from a msdos prompt or command prompt under windows. I suspect you will find it will time out trying to reach digichat, you will see * * * or host timeout along those lines if that happens contact you ISP, tell them you cannot connect to host6.digichat.com, and other mates you know can, let them know that your mates with different ISPs can connect, and if they can investigate for you.
Let them know that chat uses port 8396 to make sure that is not being blocked by a firewall.
If this does not make sense, copy and past it into an email to your ISP.
Let us know how you get on.
PS : The Chat server is not in the same physical location as the Pprune server so if you can get to Pprune does not necessarily mean you can connect to chat.
