Subject: Re: Trouble with Java Chat
I'm sorry, I really have no idea how best to resolve this problem.
You might try AOL support since if it's an AOL-specific application,
they may need to support IP resolution. "Resolving the IP for host"
means figuring out the internet address for the computer you are
trying to connect to.
Are you running Microsoft Internet Explorer? If so, you might try
asking Microsoft if they are aware of this problem and if they have
a workaround.
If you're trying to run a Java Chat that either AOL or Microsoft is
providing, I suspect they can give you a solution. If you're trying
to run a Java Chat program that is from a 3rd party, you may be
running into Java applet sandbox restrictions. By default,
downloaded applets cannot make arbitrary network connections. This is
part of the Java security model in the current release. For more
information about Java security, check out
