Problem with WEB IRC..

[Madkat]

I'm trying to get on my web irc located at www.localhosttv.org and i get the following error:

"Connecting...

Unable to connect : java.net.ConnectException : Connection refused: connect "

Is this the content filtering system blocking it, or is there a problem with the way the comp is configured??

Thanks!!!

Unless an applet has been signed, the sandbox will not allow your local machine to connect to any remote machine other than the one the applet is hosted on.

What you're trying to do won't work, and won't work by design.

Says who?

Design sucks

when i have someone I want to get into IRC for a moment I use http://www.chat-solutions.org/chat/ and from there you can configure it to use any server/channel you want... you might be able to use this client becasue I've seen it on quite a few websites

That link works for me.

That link works for me.

It works fine when im off of school grounds, but it doesnt work in school for some reason...

They probably block anythin with the word chat in it

I know the IRC Port is blocked where I am so I cant use IRC at course. However if someone knows a way to bypass this I would love to know.

[PoyBoy]

use a UDP tunnel or SSH tunnel

Both ports are also blocked for me lol

[PoyBoy]

then find some web irc client and use a proxy going through port 80

I tried that but still no go.

You could always try using mIRC! What's so bad about using that program?

[cooper]

Well, for starters, the program isn't the problem. Didn't you read the thread? The port is blocked. Changing the program won't change the fact that the port the server is listening at cannot be reached.
