No abre el chat de java volano

Hace tiempo postee que el IE7 beta 2 no abria el chat de java volano.
Migre
hacia el IE8 rc1, PERO SIGUE IGUAL... LA PAGINA ABRE DONDE SE ENCUENTRAN
ALOJADOS LOS CHAT en el entorno java. Pero cuando se le da click para
entrar aparece lo siguiente:


Unable to Connect
Problem
The VolanoChat applet failed to connect to the VolanoChat server either
because the server has reach its capacity or because the server is
temporarily down.

Solution
Wait a few minutes and try again.

If that didn't work ...
You may be trying to connection through an HTTP proxy server. The
VolanoChat
applet cannot connect to the VolanoChat server through an HTTP proxy
server
because it doesn't communicate using HTTP. Try switching the connection to
a
SOCKS proxy server or try using a network address translating (NAT) router
for your firewall, if either of those options are available for you.
VolanoChat works fine through a firewall using SOCKS or NAT. Your network
administrator may be able to help you change your settings to work with
VolanoChat.
