What do you have to do in order to chat using an ipad

You need to download an IRC chat app from the App Store. Limechat and Colloquy are popular.

Use server: irc.dal.net
Port: 6667
Channel: #jackinchat

I just downloaded the HydraIRC client for win 7. When trying to connect to the server I get:

21:08] *** Resolving host name
[21:08] *** Could not resolve host name
[21:08] *** Disconnected (2012-12-30 21:08:32)
[21:08] *** Connect attempt 1 of 110 failed, delaying retry for 30 seconds (Click "Disconnect" to cancel)

All the way through 110 unsuccessful attempts.

How do I get it to connect to jackinchat's server?

Thanks, from a tech layman

When i try to enter the IRC chat, it tells me i have been banned. I've only encountered this issue since the JAVA update. I don't think I did anything which would have caused me to be banned so, I'm guessing it had something to do with said update. Hope you can help. Thanks

fyi: My alternate nic is pudpounder

I can't get on the chatroom anymore, either. It just says "error" and that's it. Hoping you can fix it..and thanks for all you do, room moderators/owners.

I had to update my Java to the latest version because the chat wouldn't load anymore. Now with everything updated and going through all the troubleshooting tips, the applet still won't load. The error is a Security Exception that states "Missing required Permissions manifest attribute in main jar: http://www.jackinchat.com/java/pjirc/irc.jar". I'm on a PC and have tried to get the chat to work on the latest versions of Firefox and Internet Explorer. Help!

I gave up with this chatroom and now I use dick.net video chat

Using an I pad. Cannot get into the chat room anymore. Help

same here, started 2 days ago. again

Don't believe ya need java in order to use the "html experimental" chat version - available from the drop down menu

Same here, would not load the last couple days

Problems ! Cannot get in to Chat on new access

Hmm, guess its back to the irc way

Everything was fine till yesterday, going to try again now.

The only way I can get in is from the HTML5 connection. I tried both of the others yesterday and today on two different PCs and only HTML5 worked.
