I have the latest SunJava installed and working. Java appears to be loading
classes and then appears to time out when trying to play any games at Pogo.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using URL provided above, click on Hammerhead Pool, then click on any room to
attempt to play
2. Watch the loading, please wait page as it loads classes then redirects you to
a page which says you are prevented from playing this game.
3. This occurs when trying to play any game at Pogo.com
Actual Results:  
Redirected to page saying I'm prevented from playing this game. (This happens
with any game.)

Expected Results:  
Should have continued to load the page to permit play.

I am running Windows 98SE, on an AMD Athlon using Cable connection.
This is the Java Log of the occurrance:

[Marius Strumyla]

are u not behind a firewall because the applet tries to connect to port 17911
and then fails.

does this game work with ie?

Comment 2

[Sandee Binversie]

I HAVE SOLVED THIS PROBLEM!!! ALL I HAD TO DO WAS, WHEN THE JAVA CONSOLE WINDOWS
OPENS, CLOSE IT!!!!!! SOMETHING WITH THE JAVA CONSOLE WINDOW BEING OPEN PREVENTS
GAME PLAY.  AS SOON AS THE JAVA CONSOLE WINDOW OPENED, I CLOSED IT....IT SHOWS
GREY FOR A SHORT TIME BEFORE IT DISAPPEARS FROM THE SCREEN, BUT ONCE IT'S GONE,
THE GAMES LOAD PERFECTLY WITH NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER!!!  THIS METHOD ALSO WORKS
FOR NETSCAPE 7.  I HAVE ALSO ADVISED POGO OF THE FIX FOR THE PROBLEM.  I DON'T
KNOW WHY LEAVING THE CONSOLE WINDOW OPEN WOULD CAUSE THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT DOES.
