Uk Geo Chat


Recommended Posts

Posted

Can't get into geochat on any of the links - tried this one last http://hokesters.co.uk/geochat/. I get this message - Unable to connect : java.net.SocketException : Software caused connection abort: connect

 

Now.....it used to work fine! But I've just had my laptop 'got at' by our IS department. Now on a new domain and had McAfee firewall updated. Can't edit the settings of the firewall (locked down) but have disabled the service so it doesn't start. Java uptodate and pop up blockers all off. I don't want to install Mirc as its my laptop and its MrsB who uses the chat so its convenient to go in via IE.

 

Any techsperts out there who can help?

 

Thanks

Sometimes, I get that message, if I just leave it trying to connect it eventually does... just don't be tempted to refresh...it sometimes takes 10 mins.

 

Tried both the hokesters and geochat site just now which both appear to be working fine.

All is well in the great chat room - password restriction has been dropped and all the evil bots eliminated - you may now log-in in the usual way.

 

Enjoy!

Well thats good news Hokes!

 

I went in through the ruddy cat flap last night. dadgum cat had me by the scruff of the neck. And me with a broken wing 'n all! <_<

I can't get in again tonight, I tried all the methods mentioned last night but no luck.

I can't see why we can't make chat passworded all the time like the forum is if you want to leave message.

But for now, Help.help.

It seems that the mIRC client has nailed shut my skylight entrance into the room and various attempts with both Java and mIRC have failed <_<

 

I get in no problem with Mirc - you're not missing much, no one is at home
