I am currently traveling and for some reason, the hotel i am currently at, i am guessing, is blocking my access to chat with a firewall. But, well... i have little to no knowledge about firewall's, so that is the point of this thread...
Each time i try logging onto chat i get the following error:
Could not connect to www.bdsmlibrary.com:8081.
Possible reasons include:
- The chat server system at www.bdsmlibrary.com is temporarily unavailable.
- Your computer is behind a firewall or proxy server. Please ensure that your firewall permits outgoing TCP connections to www.bdsmlibrary.com on port 8081.
Now... i know it's not the server because almost everyone on my messenger was in chat... so it has to be the firewall. i went into my firewall settings and added the information as stated above but that didn't fix it. i am guessing it is a setting with the hotel, yes, maybe?
So... for future reference...
How can i fix this? Is it even possible to fix?
Thanks!
