| Help - I can't get in Chat & I want in for Raffle info on Wed. Can I get some help getting into Chat?? I really want to be there for the big announcement tomorrow eve. So I just tried again to get into chat - again, as in the past, my attempt to connect is unsuccessful This is what happens when I try to get in: at the top: Status: yorkiesmiles [ ] when I push connect this is the message that I get in the white box: Connecting... Unable to connect : java.net.ConnectException : Connection refused: connect I just do not know what to do to make it work

Administrator | You may need to download and install Java, which is free at: Download Free Java Software - Sun Microsystems Here is another method you can use to access YorkieTalk chat, which is by using the mIRC chat program (for PCs): http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...highlight=mirc |

| Ok,Thanks, but I'm still having problems. I do have a PC - but I have Java - I did check and I needed to install an update - did the installation and I still get the same message in Chat, as I previously posted. I installed the mIRC chat program - but I did not get the box that you describe in the old thread about how to insert my name. Not sure what to do next. Do you think restarting my computer would make any difference? Haven't tried that yet. Do others just not get in to Chat because they have these type of problems??

| I can't get in to chat either. This is what I get when I try to connect: unable to connect:com.ms.security.SecurityExceptionsEx:canno t connect to "irc.prison.net" How can I get this fixed before the drawing? |

Administrator | The mIRC program has changed a little bit, but you should be able to type in the server commands, such as: /server irc.efnet.nl then after a lot of text comes up after you have connected to the chat server, type in: /join #yorkietalk |

Administrator | Here is a beginner's guide to mIRC: mIRC: Getting Started with mIRC You may want to see if this works for you. Once it does and you are in a chat channel, then you may type: /server irc.efnet.nl then after a lot of text comes up after you have connected to the chat server, type in: /join #yorkietalk and you will be in the YorkieTalk chat channel. |

| I had some issues too. First that prison thing came up and then it told me my username was already used and it displayed about 100 times. It was weird.
