Also, remember that it takes a little bit of time to actually be given access to the network. When the applet comes up, it will appear to be doing nothing for up to a couple minutes. Sometimes I see members enter the chat according to the chat block, but they never actually get to the channels (and leave the block after the three minute interval). I can only assume that this is the reason, because it may look like the server is not responding. Just wait a little bit and grab an iced tea, because it'll work.
