This depends what you want to do. If you want to get it running on your testserver at home and other users from the internet should be able to connect to your chat then you have to open the right port on your router and map it to your chat server. But this only applies to users which do not belong to your 192.168.0.x network and which are blocked by any kind of firewall.

The chat uses a lot of memory of the server because it is java based. When you run multiple chat siteIDs and multiple domains on the same server, you will run into a performance degredation. Due to this i have divided that chat from the domain server. So i use a dedicated chat server and a dedicated webserver with MySQL.

Yes. This is due to your companies firewall. The are blocking the access to the chat ports. I have the same in my company where i work. Due to this i have installed HTTP Tunneling and i know that my company does not block 443. So i am routing my applet through this port and i can connect to the chat. Before that i used the default port and i clicked on connect and nothing happend.

If you don't know which ports are blocked from your company try to go with the apache 2 which has the jakarta module implemented for HTTP tunneling, if you don't want to mess around with the latest apache 1 version. It took me 1 week to figure out how it works and to get it running.
