Prinz Eugen Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I was trying to access the Java based opponent finder chat at http://www.combatmission.com:8000/ , but got nowhere. Seemingly my browser knows nothing about Java, so I could not enter the chat. As I'm too thick/lazy to configure a IRC-client, I am not allowed to find me a tcp opponent whenever I feel like it ! Is Java a no-no on IE then ? I tried a search with the IE help but found no traces of Java. Any chance that MS sees Java as a "threat" to itself and therefore hasn't included it in IE ? Or are there security issues concerning the use of Java ? An inquiring mind wants to know ! :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 IE has a Java-engine (Microsoft's own). So unless you did a custom installation of IE, you should have Java. Do you have a firewall between you and the Internet (with the possibility of certain ports being blocked) ? You can also download Sun's version of Java JRE 1.41 (JRE is just the run-time modules. SDK is a developer oriented installation) it's the second set of listings. There are some newer versions, but I don't know if they would be any different for most people's uses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 If you have an unpatched member of the first set of WindowsXP installs then MS did not install java by default. I suggest going with Sun Java anyhow, its alot better. WWB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
