Here's an important first diagnostic to work out which end the disconnection occurs: Do any other web based things (ie downloading files or whatever) drop at the same time ?
If not then it's liable to be whatever you're using to connect to the chat room OR that end. If it's that end then you're obviously a bit stuffed. Maybe pop a message on seeing if others are also being kicked if so ?
If it seems to be your end then maybe find another chat client and see if that does the same. My usual rule for tracking things down is to do the same thing using a different tool or program and see if the issue stays or goes.
That's always a good way to get 70% of the way to diagnosing stuff..............

, it's just on the One chat room, it's a Javascript thing now I come to think of it 
, could it be that?Posted: 30 Mar 2007, 20:33
It's a Java Applet not JavaScript (annoyingly similar names, completely different things) but I wouldn't think that would be causing the problem.
I can't even get into the damn thing (which is no great loss
).
It might be worth updating your Java VM - go to http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp, download & install.
