Now to my issue - this hack works great for 95% of my users, but there's a couple (and one windger in particular) who get the connection refused connection null error (or whatever it says). They all reckon they have the firewalls and av's turned off, but still get this error.

I try telling them it has to be their firewalls or something, the applet works and they can get the IRC messages, they just get this connection null error. So itsn't that a firewall issue?

How can we overcome this problem Zach? Or what can I tell the so that they will PO.

If its working for 99% of your users, its just these few who are having an issue i am not sure what it could be, ask them to update their java instaltion and turn off their firewall completely and virus scanners for a short time and see if this allows them to connect.
