problem with java

That "connect timed out" error says there is no AGWPE server (AGWPE, DireWolf, SoundModem, etc.) running at the port and non-local Internet address you specified in your port configuration. This could be due to:
1. a firewall setting on the remote computer (or the path to it), not permitting outside access to the specified port and just dropping the connection request rather than sending back a "connection refused" ICMP packet, or 2. the specified computer does not exist at all. This configured behavior of firewalls is becoming more common with Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and network mapping attacks becoming more prevalent. You should never see this error if you are running the AGWPE server on your local computer where YAAC is running, as the firewall there shouldn't prevent you from talking to services on your own computer, but you could see the "connection refused" or "no such port" error if the software TNC program wasn't running when YAAC tried to connect to it. For convenience, if you are running the software TNC on the same computer as YAAC, you should always use the "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" loopback address for the AGWPE server, rather than the network address the router assigned to your computer with DHCP. It is entirely possible for the router to change the address assigned to your computer without notice to you the human, and suddenly YAAC will think the AGWPE server is running somewhere else and try to reach the network address your computer used to use. Note you don't use the AGWPE port type to connect to the APRS-IS Internet backbone; you use the APRS-IS port type instead. Hope this helps.
