I've fixed that but don't remember what i did

I think the chat example rely on an old version (1.2.0) of the socket.io-client (https://github.com/socketio/chat-example/blob/master/index.html#L22), which is not able to connect properly with newer versions of the server. In fact, it seems to happen with every version below 1.4.x. Could you please update your client version?

[xahon]

Yes, i remember. I have installed old socket.io version
