Java games applet not connecting to Yahoo
- by Steve
Hi.
I am trying to play a Y! game which use a java applet. The applet displays the message:
Alert.
Unable to connect to server.
One of four things could have caused this:
1) You are behind a firewall.
2) You are not connected to the internet.
3) The games server is down.
4) You have a stale page in your cache.
I have added an exception to the Windows firewall for java.exe.
I am obviously connected to the Internet okay.
The games server is not down when I am at home. I doubt it is down when I am at work. I have never successfully loaded this page before, so I doubt I have a stale page in cache.
Could it be the corporate firewall? Nothing else in my web browser has been blocked before. Maybe the java applet connects on a different port to the browser.
What should I test?
