    My literal interpretation of the error message is that your local java platform doesn't allow the applet to resolve hostnames, so it can't find the correct IP for the irc server.

    Is this from where you work? Can you do an nslookup of ign.ie.quakenet.org from the command line? Can you telnet from your machine to port 6667 on ign.ie.quakenet.org ?

    Yeah, that would be a good explanation. The policy file for the opera browser probably prevents any network connections to a server other than where the applet was downloaded from.

    Then again, I was under the impression that any browser would prevent such a network connection, so perhaps people are putting the boards applet or boards.ie into a "trusted zone" or equivilent to get it to work?

    i tried to connect through IE but still had the same problem, also when i open IE i get the java cup in my system tray which i didn't have previously, this doesn't happen with opera.

    The Sun VM has probably replaced the Microsoft VM.

    I think that would solve it, but I have no idea if java would then work with opera.
