When you successfully connect, you should get a message at the bottom of the
board that says: "waiting for a challenger". After several tries I finally
waited long enough to get an opponent and a game--so it does work. It just
seems to take alot of patience to get a game. It takes me about 15 minutes
just for the board to load. however once the game starts its fast. About the
FATAL ERROR! message; which version of Netscape are you using? I believe
that the 16 bit version of Netscape 2.02 ( for windows3.1) does not yet
support Java, you need the 32 bit  version. (for windows 95)  Maybe thats
your problem?
