What's happening is we've got a web/jabber server (both are on the same box) and yet another server that sits in between the web/jabber server and the client machine and masquerades as the web/jabber server. I'll try the http polling feature. This may help with the issue.

Is the firewall between the user and the Jabber server? Or between the web server and the Jabber server? I'm going to assume you're not talking about a firewall between the user and the server, because you can't predict what sort of firewall that is, and it will be out of your control 99.999% of the time. But what you need to be sure the applet's connection will work everywhere is to install a Jabber applet with the HTTP polling feature. I've confirmed that this works although the implementation of HTTP polling written for the jabber applet is a bit inefficient. Assuming then, that the user can connect to the HTTP polling script (which is running inside the same web server as the page the applet was served from,) the polling server then needs to be able to connect to the Jabber server on port 5222. So you'll have to open up that port for incoming from the web server, and allow the return packets from that port.
