Hello,

When I want to login the chat I get an error:

*** Failed to launch Ident server : access denied (java.net.SocketPermission localhost:113 listen,resolve)
Connecting...
Unable to connect : access denied (java.net.SocketPermission irc.topgamers.net resolve)

Are there more people having this problem?

Yeah I used to. There is a post from tbs with a solution somewhere. Sorry can't remember which one, but check out some of the older ones in the "Off Topic" section.

hi,

Got the same here. Try using a IRC client (mIRC, XChat,...). They're better, faster and work all the time!

r0d

The java socket permissions are set in the file:

JRE-directory->lib->security->java.policy

try this ones:

permission java.net.SocketPermission "*:80-", "connect";
permission java.net.SocketPermission "localhost:1024-", "listen";

Does anybody use the chat-applet these days???

Wouldn't it be nicer to show a tutorial on how to install mirc/bitchx and how to configure it to log on!
This would make much more sense...

Ps: I can do you windows version if you want!

Guide for mIRC:

download the latest version from www.mirc.com
when it is downloaded, install (default dir is something like C:/mIRC/)

open mIRC.exe
First time it will ask you to enter details like full name, email (dont enter real ones, not many people do )

after all that is done, type in:

/server irc.topgamers.net
/join #tbs

chat away

... register your nick with nickserv
... howto setup that you auto login with that nick
... explain what +o +v +h means
... explain used policy

This all with screenshot of course!

first connect to server.

register nick with nickserv:
/nick (name you want to register)
/msg nickserv register password email

to set it to login as that nick u need to use mIRC,
goto view->options
then on the connect tab (expand) -> options -> preform.
click the "enable preform on connect" and then add these preform commands:



/nick (name you registered)
/msg nickserv identify password
/join #tbs

Different Modes

+v = voice - if a op (+o) sets the mode +m (mute) then only people with +v (or above) can speak.
+h = HalfOp - the next step up from voice. with this you can do a few commands such as kick people, voice people, ban people, change topic (unless its protected by the channel owner). These can be assigned by the channel owner or any sop (+ao).
+o = OP - most commands except for adding people to the access list (people who have ops/halfops).
+ao = Protected OP - The +a stops ops from kicking you from the channel and gives you nearly every command available to do with chanserv.
+q = Channel Founder - This is for the person who registed the channel and (normally) only 1 person is assigned this (as only 1 person can register the channel).

If you have any queries feel free to msg me

and for everybody that is senceful enough to use opensource software.

Xchat2 It's free it runs on anything. google for xchat compiled by silverex

-start Xchat
-press ctrl-S
-add the desired server, and set the options. you can set your nickserv password here, no need to use perform commands.

register your nick like in the previous tutorial, just follow the big buttons and you'll be fine

**WARNING**
(If you use a mIRC client)

If anyone tells you to enter something that starts with " // " for example "//write......" then DO NOT enter it as once you enter it (if they tell you to enter what they told me to enter) then they can control your computer via mIRC and install a bot / trojan. This works by them connecting through your mIRC port (normally 6667) this port is allowed to access the internet because you allow it to (when you connect to your IRC server). This is the code and it causes your mIRC to let others use CTCP commands such as to change your nickname, kick people from channel (or if your IRCop / Server Admin) gline people (ban from server). There is a tool that can be used to scan your computer to check to see if you are infected, when i have found it i will post it up.

The command i was referring to was:
//write config.mrc ctcp ^*:*:*:$1- | Load -rs config.mrc
