It is better to get mIRC or Trillian to go into the chat room. www.mirc.com or www.trillian.cc will take you to them.

Is it just me? Or is gamesnet.com down? I've tried to get there the past few days and I get a server not found error!

Ah well, such is life.

Cheers!

I can get to the chat through Trillian with no problems.

Try going to gamesnet.net instead. I had same problem few days ago and got to the site using the .net extension.
Edit: In fact, it's like that right now. I can get there with .net, but .com isn't working.

Thanks rags, the .net solution worked. I changed my bookmark to point to the .net instead of the .com! All's well now.

Get an IRC client program. They are far superior to the java chat clients.

The Last time I installed an IRC client (mIRC!) I got hacked/stacked/cracked/and otherwise forced to format my hard drive. I'll not try that again. The java chat applet is working well for me, so I'll stick with that for now.

Thanks for meaning well though!

Cheers!

Don't go on Warez channels then David. Don't go on bad networks. Get a firewall. That sort of thing almost never happens, and will not happen just because you have an IRC client installed.

{ Zone Alarm } has a very user-friendly freeware Version of their firewall out. I've used it with no problems. I've also been told that there's a good freeware firewall at this site:

http://sygate.com/

but I haven't tried it, so you might use a bit of caution there.

You probably just got unlucky and hit that one in a trillion (or even more) chance.
