Yeah! Finally got it. Had to go into Control Panel - Internet Options - and correct the setting in Connections that thought I still had a dial up connection. Guess there never was an issue before is because the wireless setting was also there. As soon as the dial up was removed - bingo - finally got the chat page that allowed me to sign in. "
Have you tried the above, after Charlese made the change. He was able to get in.
Empty your temp internet files, and delete the cookie for the addonchat. Then if you installed the addonchat. UNinstall it.
From the couple pics you posted, you were using IE provided by AOL. Do you have a reall IE or FireFox?

beeg; I don't know how to get a more real version of IE than the one I have. I loaded IE6 and SP1 (which is the latest for Windows 2000) directly off a CD provided by Microsoft. In fact, I uninstalled and reinstalled it last week.
I would be concerned that IE6 is not new enough except Admin reports they use Windows 2000 themselves.
I have received a reply from customer support at addonChat. They kindly report that they have provided all of the support that they can, given that I am not a paying customer.
Following is a copy of part of what I received:
Per my multiple replies as well as the email to nick when explained the issue, this is related to a firewall on your own computer which is restricting access to the chat room.
Therefore you need to follow the instructions in the link in the email to nick which will explain what steps you can use to resolve this. However if your connecting from an office/school/work environment or have a strict firewall the owner of the chat room would need to look at trying the firewall friendly module and setting the default port to 8080 which is the general port for internet access and usually helps with this issue.
As this portal is for support for chat owners of paid service plans, we can only give limited support to non customer inquiries, however the links given previously (http://support.addoninteractive.com/...=kb&article=21) to the troubleshooter and firewall issues link should help with your issue or as I say a firewall friendly module which could be tried.
For this option the owner of the chat room would need to add this to their account.
It might only be because I am frustrated but it seems that I have just been given the old fashion "brush off".
It has been fun but it is no more.

Chat Room has been Invaded
Thanks for all of the help that you guys have provided. I have finally gotten into the Chat Room.
Actually, it was quite easy and I learned a lot about IP addresses, port assignments, and a little about browsers.
I finally accepted the recommendations made by more than one or two of you. I loaded Firefox. Using Firefox rather than Microsoft IE I was able to get right in.
I believe I learned that the difference between Admin and myself, in this saga, is that Admin is functioning as a server and I am a client. Port utilization requirements and privileges appear to be different.
I just want to let you know - you can't get rid of me that easy.

I am glad for you, dusty! I dokn't know why I dokn't have any trouble with IE, but I am using the newest edition (or close to it, anyway, the way everything is outdated as soon as you get it, you never know), IE7.0.5730.13IC; whereas I think you said that you are (were) using 6.0?
