My applet initializes, then is started.

Then connection to psychcentral.com begins.

After a while I receive the following message:

"Could not connect to psychcentral.com:8080

Possible reasons:
- Chat server system at psychcentral.com is temporarily unavailable

- Your PC is behind a firewall or proxy server - please ensure your PC permits outgoing TCP connections to PS on port 8080."

I suspect the latter is my reason. I post from work. Any suggestions?
