Thanks again. I came home and fooled with it. I opened port 8396 on my router and it seems I can connect using my (internet) domain name, but my others aren't able to connect. They don't get the drop down box. All they get is the "Welcome Guest. You will be logged in with a random user name." The changes I have made were in the chatconfig.php. I changed the server not to be my IP, but my DNS name without the http://. I couldn't connect if I used the http part. Also I have my port on the end :8085.

I can only connect if the use the third option (Extra (with popup blocker) Why is that? Also, I can't connect with my forum admin account name. When I click on chat it shows me password box with admin in red up top. It gives me back an error in german which I'm presuming in a invalid password error. I created another account on my forum and it let me log in as described above(locally that is.)

Can I manually go through and change some of the syntax that wasn't converted to English? Thanks for the help Bud. I really appreciate you taking the time.


note:

1) this is a home network, so i don't have a proxy setup just a router.
2) the other users are the same. No proxies just routers.

You can set the port for the chat to whatever you want but the problem will be that users behind a firewall will not be able to connect. That's why there is the offer from HTTP Tunneling. There are multiple free software packages out there to run HTTP Tunneling ... BUT ... what happens with HTTP tunneling ?

Per default the applet start checking the following ports for the chat application:
- 80
- 443
- 8396

What files needs to be edited to add this?
