I have the exact same problem today. It began yesterday.

Thanks for the tip. I was able to access the chat via the Opera browsers chat component. It took some figuring out, but I'm in...can't wait to get stroking again. LOL

Can't get in either. So frustrating.

I now have the same issue - is this a known issue and is there a fix?

Is there a fix for this?

Sometimes our java chat doesn't play well with the Dalnet chat network that we use. There's currently 60 guys logged into the chat right now which is about normal so I dont think there is a widespread problem.

Maybe check this link, there's an alternate method of connecting.:
