I've spoken to my ISP and the tech support for my computer, and they wonder if anything has been changed on the cafe. Does anybody have any ideas on why we can't get in anymore?

The St Pixels server was being moved physically from one room to another in the server park. The café appears to be back now.

The admins and the geeks that do their bidding never actually bloody read this bloody thread, do they? Do they not know that the official Ship's cafe has sunk to the level of a lewd practical joke? It bloody never opens and I have a late-model iMAC with broadband that had no trouble at all getting in earlier this year.

Had an email from Melon - saying that apparently I need to use port 25424... Huh?
Does this mean we have to open other ports and start asking our ISPs to permit different traffic?
Please could an admin tell us EXACTLY what we have to do now?

I've checked the rules on my router - and I allow all outbound connections, and none inbound.
This has always worked in the past.

I deeply resent the suggestion that it has ever even occurred to the geeks to do the admins' bidding! quote: I have a late-model iMAC
No wonder you are so bitter and twisted!
I think it should work a bit better now that the server is running. It looks like it was never restarted when we moved servers about a week ago.
Sorry about that, and thanks to Alex for PMing something that made enough sense for me to investigate, rather than assuming that it was yet another "It wasn't me it was my firewall" problem. [ 25. October 2008, 13:20: Message edited by: Melon ]

To be honest Sir Kevin, if that's your attitude, I'm glad you can't get in - we'll have a better time without you.

Rossweisse, that sounds to me like a firewall problem. You need to open port 25424. Try turning off your firewall (briefly) and seeing if that makes a difference.
Sir Kevin, which version of OS X are you running? On Apples, the version of java is tied to the version of the OS.

OK - Sk came back to me - and I've done some digging.
SK - you said you bought your Mac back in early 2007 - this would have placed you at any of these levels
Model ; Date of release; OS (early); OS late iMac (Late 2006 17-inch);Sept 2006;10.4.7;10.4.8
iMac (Late 2006 17-inch CD);Sept 2006;10.4.7;10.4.8, 10.4.10, 10.5.4
iMac (Late 2006 20-inch);Sept 2006;10.4.7;10.4.8
iMac (Late 2006 24-inch);Sept 2006;10.4.7;10.4.8
Looks as though you'd need this module - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2733... Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 2 ... but it doesn't want to play on versions earlier than 10.5.4.
Looks like you may be running version 10.4.something - you'll need to buy a retail upgrade to 10.54 or later.. then reinstall software etc...
Might be a case for a clean install to Leopard..

Melon - could you go back through the changes made? Was Java 1.4.2 OK at a pinch to get in until a few weeks back - then an uipdate done to match substrate to St P's box? At which point, anyone not running Java 1.5 as a minimum would have been locked out?

Absolutely nothing has been updated in the last couple of months.
Java on Macs sucks, because Apple ties it to the version of OS X. If you have an old Mac, you won't be able to use our software, or any other software that uses Java Webstart. If Apple sends out a duff patch for Java, there is very little you can do about it.
We have a user on St Pixels with a Mac on which Apple has so far installed six different versions of Java at the same time. In those circumstances, the only amazing thing is that java ever works.
If you believe that Steve Jobs has your best interests at heart, you should stand by your Mac and blame the rest of the world for not being compatible. If you don't, your options are to either do what Steve Jobs want and shell out for a shiny new Mac every 2 years or move to another platform - any other platform in the world will let you make your own decisions about java.
Installing Leopard might be good enough if your hardware is up to it.
