Title: Chat through FireFox depending on which site you're on - install now.
Post by: BlackDove on January 14, 2006, 05:22:37 pm: http://quickchat.dnsalias.com:1245/

FireFox neat plugin. Just found out about it. Install the plugin and you can chat with the people using the same page/server (however it works) they're on.

So it'd really be a Hard Light chatroom if you used it while you browsed HL.

FireFox rules (if you install it though, which you will do when you read this. Get crackin.)

<BlackDove> It however rerouted me from something
<BlackDove> It remains until you shut it off.
<Taristin> hmm
<BlackDove> When you shut it off, then j00 needs to connect again (get back to the site you were on)
<Taristin> ah. that's what that means, then....... i see it all now. >..>

Oh yeah, you activate it through "tools" - on and off.

~~Erm, how? I don't see anything. Just the usual options. And in the Extensions screen, it gives no on/off function, or even options for the extension.~~

Nevermind.

Post by: BlackDove on January 14, 2006, 05:41:26 pm: Well I installed it (had to tell FireFox to not protect me against it)

Restart FireFox.

Go to "Tools"

Last option there at the dropdown.

That's how it works for me

Nevermind.

Post by: kasperl on January 15, 2006, 12:27:39 pm: I'm looking for the IRC server this thing actually connects to. It isn't server1.quick-chat.net, or at least that doesn't allow mIRC to connect to it.

Is there an app to see what programs are connecting to which IP on which protocol?
Title: Re: Chat through FireFox depending on which site y
Post by: BlackDove on January 15, 2006, 12:51:44 pm: It was a different server yesterday, that might be something of note.

Yesterday it was something.....else - try see the quote on the first page of this thread - info should be there

Open a command prompt and type netstat -b and you'll get a list of applications and the IP address (with port number) they're connected to.

Just don't do it when you're running something like emule or you'll be there all week. :)

Title: Re: Chat through FireFox depending on which site y
Post by: Shade on January 15, 2006, 02:12:52 pm: Tried it... nice idea, but need work. A lot of work. For one thing, it doesn't seem to adapt to your resolution, and instead forces the browser to operate in what appears to be a width of 1280px. Which sucks when you're running 1024x768 as you lose the whole right side of the browser window without the ability to scroll you get when your desktop is oversized compared to resolution.

So though the chat worked, I had to uninstall it again... but when they get the bugs worked out, it'll be great :)

NetLimiter 2 shows which IP addressess or servers programs are connected to, and it's quite useful anyways. Get it, now.

netstat (with parametres) shows what protocols the ports are using and where they are connected. Type netstat /h in command line to get additonal information about parametres, I'm too lazy to translate the information (my windows is Finnish edition, so you wouldn't find much use to it if I copypasted the information here... Just open the command line and type netstat /h or netstat /help or netstat /whatever, and it provides you with a bunch of information.

Though netstat isn't actually an application, it's part of windows system...

Post by: kasperl on January 17, 2006, 10:40:51 am: I already got it, using netstat-b, thanks to Kara. I posted the server IP a few psots up.

Thanks anyway, though.
