Java Jive!

[cphilip]

I have been completely unable to connect to chat at home since Wed. I have pretty much come to a stand still trying to fix it. I have redone my whole home network trying to fix it. That was AFTER all the server problems seemed to be solved. It just will not connect. Reloaded mIRC and rechecked all the setting as well as Java enableds and all. They are all exactly set up the same as at work where it connects no problem and they just refuse to connect here at home no matter what computer I am on. I am about to suspect my provider. Anyone got any ideas? What could they have done though?

Oh! Also does not connect here in AO either now but I can see Toms desk.

On mIRC I see this way too much!

* Connecting to irc.automgs.org (6667)
-
* Unable to resolve server

the error is a DNS error, it cant resolve the irc.automags.org address.

try entering 67.97.255.231

and see if you can get to it.

if you can then it is a problem with your isp's dns.

if not then try running a trace route (tracert 67.97.255.231), and see where it dies.

you could post the results if you dont know how to read them, and i could tell you where it dies.

hope it helps

Ok well I tried that IP in several configurations is mIRC without success.

And I do suspect some change from my ISP...

But do not know how or where to run a tracer...

Dang, I thought this was gonna be a thread about the Manhatten Transfer!

I'm experiencing something similar that only started recently...anything that requires java immediately causes my browser to close. Both Internet Explorer and Netscape are configured to enable Java.

I'm a CS major, and I can't figure this out

cphilip, click start then run then type command
type ping irc.automags.org

see what it returns. if it pings and ip and you get replies (or time outs), paste it here. if it says unknown host, then we'll go from there

I was not going to mention it. But to add TO it, how come I have the Bee Gees singing in my head?

[cphilip]

OK well I will be trying some of this tonight when I get home.

[cphilip]

OK doing the ping command...if I am doing it right...flashes up a black almost DOS looking window with something on it but it flashes and closes so quick I cannot tell what if anything it says! I mean fast!!!

[rhetor22]

try going into MSDOS prompt and typing the same thing. That should work, but you can't copy n paste

[ntn4502]

Good god I thought I posted this before only to have nobody help me ... oh well guess I'll keep looking in at this.

[cphilip]

And the DOS prompt is where in XP? Is there one?

Ok that seems to be command promt... but the ping command is different?

[cphilip]

c:\ping irc.automags.org
Ping request cannot find host irc.automags.org. please check the name and try again.

then back to c prompt...
