NOTE: In this article, the term "Microsoft Chat" refers to Comic Chat versions 1.0 and 1.1, and Microsoft Chat versions 2.0, 2.1, and 2.5.



SUMMARY
You may be unable to access Microsoft Chat or Internet Relay Chat (IRC) rooms with Microsoft Chat if you are accessing the Internet from your corporate network through a proxy server (a server on a local area network that lets you connect to the Internet without using a modem).



MORE INFORMATION
If you are accessing the Internet from your corporate network through a proxy server, you can download the Microsoft Chat program, but you may be unable to access chat rooms. Microsoft Chat uses the standard chat port (#6667), but most corporate proxy servers are not configured to allow connections over this port. If you are unable to access chat rooms through a proxy server using Microsoft Chat, contact your system administrator.
