Created an account to play online chess on freechess.org (FICS). But an attempt to login showed following error:
Error logging in: Port 5000: Connection Refused. When asked to the [email protected], he has clearly told that it is not possible to play through a web proxy. Just wandering if he may be unaware of some solution our LUG community knows!! I have already tried http_proxy exporting with port 5000, but did not work. The 'supporter' also told that the connection to play on FICS is not a web (http) connection, but one to freechess.org, port 5000 or port 23. Actually it is through some java applet. Is there a way out?? -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
