#90 - 11/15/06 05:00 PM Software is causing connection abort.
Maudie n00b Registered: 11/15/06 Posts: 5 Loc: MA, USA	I am trying to get on a forum which I have gotten on from a friend's computer, but when I try to connect it says "[16:37] Connecting... [16:37] Unable to connect : java.net.SocketException : Software caused connection abort: connect " I have the latest software, and my firewall asked to block it and I said no, so it shouldn't be having problems connecting, but it is anyway. I am using Mozilla Firefox as my browser, the latest version. My IP address is 138.110.223.97. The site I am trying to connect to is: http://equine-ranch.com/chat.php?nick=Maudie&page=chat Any idea why it isn't working? Maudie

usrbingeek Registered: 07/31/06 Posts: 387 Loc: Burlington, VT	Do you have a router? Ensure that is not blocking port 6667. Also confirm your software firewall (Windows Firewall, ZoneAlarm, McAfee Personal Firewall, etc.) is not blocking that port. _________________________ WyldRyde IRC Network Steve Mermelstein Root Admin #!/usr/bin/geek My Amazon.com Wishlist Please no PMs. Please post to a topic instead so your question(s) may benefit others.

usrbingeek Registered: 07/31/06 Posts: 387 Loc: Burlington, VT	If you have a router it would be a box thats between your DSL or Cable modem and your computer (IF your not on dialup.) You'd have to find the name and model number of that router and do some googling to find its documentation (so you can look up how you unblock ports.) If you're running a software firewall beside's WinXP it should tell you in the Windows Security Center (Start > Control Panel > Security Center). _________________________ WyldRyde IRC Network Steve Mermelstein Root Admin #!/usr/bin/geek My Amazon.com Wishlist Please no PMs. Please post to a topic instead so your question(s) may benefit others.

Maudie n00b Registered: 11/15/06 Posts: 5 Loc: MA, USA	I do not have a router, and I only have WinXP firewall, which isn't the problem, because I tried turning it off and it still didn't work. Is there anything else that could be causing the problem?

usrbingeek Registered: 07/31/06 Posts: 387 Loc: Burlington, VT	Who is your ISP? A few block access to IRC servers. How about child protection software, have you installed anything like NetNanny or AOL Parental Controls? _________________________ WyldRyde IRC Network Steve Mermelstein Root Admin #!/usr/bin/geek My Amazon.com Wishlist Please no PMs. Please post to a topic instead so your question(s) may benefit others.

Maudie n00b Registered: 11/15/06 Posts: 5 Loc: MA, USA	My ISP provider is run through my college, but I know it should allow it, because my friend who uses the same provider can run the chat fine. And I don't have any child protection software.

usrbingeek Registered: 07/31/06 Posts: 387 Loc: Burlington, VT	I'm completely out of ideas. There is something on your computer or between it and the internet is blocking access to port 6667.
