Now I get into that chat screen, but after entering my name and pressing Connect Now, I get this: Trying TCP connection to memberchat.xoom.com:8900 ... TCP Connection failed Disconnected: Could not connect to server memberchat.xoom.com:8900 Sorry, network connection failed. Please try again later. The request never even shows up in the list of my connections, so it can't possible succeed. I think that java script isn't perfect.
