Irc Java Applet - Easy Access to IRC Support

viz - I keep getting the same error too - it happens with everyone who's behind a proxy. Many of us in fact ARE behind proxies - unknowningly.. mostly becoz of the local ISP's.. For me I can connect if I use the browser on my dial-up server - but NOT from any other system on my LAN which connect through a proxy rerouted through the dial-up server

The problem goes away if you're using Win2k/XP's default Internet Connection Sharing option...

You should understand that this client behaves exactly like mIRC - when you accept the certificate this gets downloaded into your browser cache and runs as an embedded application from there. Whereas mIRC has the options of specifying a proxy, this applet still DOES NOT. So it tries connecting/resolving the IP of dalnet directly and doesnt get any response, resulting in the connection timeout.... Maybe if I've free time, I can look into it.. I'm fairly good with Java myself..

i've used pjirc before on my previous site. but, for some reason, they seem to load either really slow on mac's or they dont load at all. does anyone know a good, not fancy irc applet thats user friendly on both macs and windows computers? feel free to email me with suggestions. thanks.

Hi, everyone. After a long, long break, I'm back yet again.

Yes, proxy settings are very unintuitive for Java applets. As I've recently cleared off my hard drive, I don't have Java VM installed on my computer. From what I remember, Windows users can change their default Java proxy settings from their control panel. Also, I believe that the Java VM can take the default Windows proxy settings from the control panel as well. Obviously, for those who only configure their proxies through Firefox, I'd bet that Java apps would run into a lot of trouble.

I don't quite know what else to say for now. Combined with a good set of instructions, this applet should be very useful. It all depends how popular the IRC channels get.

do you know which one is used on http://searchirc.com ? Where else can I find a decent java IRC client that I can use from any computer (including a library computer)? I don't have my own internet connection right now, so I'm extremely limited in IRC access.
