Chat room question

Whenever I try to get into the chat room, it says it is unable to connect. I don't know why, since my internet connection is fine, and I have the Java Applet completely installed, anyone have an idea as to why it is doing this?

Strange. I'm having the same problem. It must not be running currently... maybe. I dunno, I've been away.

Oh, and mIRC isn't working either, is it just down temporarily or something?

EDIT: and now it is (in mIRC) "Unable to Resolve Server"
EDIT2: Oh, and Im using a wireless connection if that makes a difference

What is the server address you have typed on mIRC? I use X-Chat and for a year and a half it was always set to irc.zeldauniverse.net for the server until on Saturday I got your problem. I simply changed the server address in my settings to irc.gnug.org

Try that or it could be something else.

I'm guessing that the redirect for irc.zeldauniverse.net hasn't been setup again after the server move. I'm sure Zack'll fix that once he sees this. For now just use irc.gnug.org to connect to the chat.

Well, thank you all, irc.gnug.org works for me. (Although I have no clue what channel we are there). But irc.zeldauniverse.net is STILL not working. *sigh*. Oh well, it works on my desktop alright though

irc.zeldauniverse.net is just a redirect for irc.gnug.org. The channel is always the same, which is #zelda.

Oh, we bite as well

Well, it works, oh, and a quick question about mIRC, I know it is free, but it says you have to register your copy of the trial. Does it still work after the trial period or something?

Okay, the chat first went down. Then it worked. Now it won't connect. I haven't changed anything major on my computer either. Is it the server again or my computer?

Could it be that you are using that Java thing from the mainsite?
Maybe you should try other programs like mIRc or X-Chat because the server is working fine.

I always use Java, and it is not working for me either.

No, it keeps working after the trial period. I have had mine expired for a year now.

Never mind it's working for me. For now. I'm on right now.

I am using mIRC, and it is working, I can access the chat now. Thank you for the help everyone.

Oh, and it is good that you don't have to pay for it, I was a bit worried
