I get error "status: Exception while connecting. Server down, firewall config or fil-URL applet."

I do have a paid account, and was trying to install a free java chat program on my site. However, I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.


<APPLET CODE="chat.ChatApplet" ARCHIVE="http://www.tpgames.net/chat/VisualChat/webserver/chat.jar"
CODEBASE="http://www.tgames.net/chat/VisualChat" WIDTH=520 HEIGHT=400>
<PARAM NAME="CabBase" VALUE="chat.cab">
<PARAM NAME="Port" VALUE="5555">
<PARAM NAME="Room" VALUE="Lobby">
<PARAM NAME="DemoMode" VALUE="FALSE">
</APPLET>


How I installed it was installed everything on my desktop, and then uploaded everything onto the site. The chat works if I use their applet to go to their server's hosting site. But, I want to use my own website space so that I can customize everything myself, and save using their webserver.


Here's the link to their site with info on installation which totally confused me:
http://www.weirdoz.org/visualchat/embed.html
I did not understand where to put any of those codes.
Thanks!

Leave it blocked then, because I can just connect with link to their server using html. It's okay. I'll just use it exclusively for the fan base part of my site.

I'll come up with another program for the children's part of the site, when I find one. I just wanted a program that was within itself so that children could talk with each other without being exposed to the adults. I've got 4 years to find something.    (This program had graphics for rooms, so was more sociallly themeable.)

Try changing the port to something standard... maybe that would help:

<PARAM NAME="Port" VALUE="5555">

Yeh, i just copied the line to change. I'm not sure, I never wrote java chat code.. try port 80 maybe? That is the standard web port.
