I'm having trouble getting our computers here at the library to sign in to the KGS server, which is awkward since our Go club may be entering a tournament soon. Our IT guy does not want the downloadable app installed on the computers.

As the website announcement from last year says, I have added www.gokgs.com, goserver.gokgs.com, and files.gokgs.com to the Java exceptions list. I still get a message saying that the application will run with 'limited access,' which means that I am unable to log in.

Anyone know what else I can do here?

Do you know if the port to KGS is open?

I'm not sure what the limited access warning looks like. I just used the web client now, and it seemed fine.

I'm not sure what that means....

The library will have a firewall, that needs to be configured to allow requests on port 2379. If you don't know what this means, it doesn't really matter - the tech guy in charge of the library computers should know.

Thanks, that may help at some point. For now, our tech guy allowed us to install the app, so we are good to go.
