How to join Rat Forum Chatroom!

[cjshrader]

Is there no error or anything?

[abbycrazed]

I give up. It works 1/4 of the time and fails the rest. [10053] software caused connection abort


AAAAGH. i'm so done with this. it's a waste of my time.

[lilspaz68]

I have had it work everytime so far, in fact I am in there with 5 others right now.

[abbycrazed]

It doesn't matter if it's chatzilla or the IRC client thing. I can't get in. So I'm done trying. It's just too frustrating.

[lilspaz68]

want me to get on MSN or something and see if we can set you up?

I use irc.umich.edu....and its worked the best.

[abbycrazed]

It worked fine the other day. I didn't change anything and it won't let me join. It just gives me that stupid software error.

I had to reselect my server since it was setup for everywherechat, #ratwise, previously.

[abbycrazed]

just forget it. i'm done with the chat. someone let me know when you get something reliable up.

I've logged on numberous times a day for a while now and never had a problem. Perhaps it's your individual computer that has the error.

[abbycrazed]

It worked fine the other day. I haven't changed anything on my computer except firefox upgraded to 3.0.0.1

[A1APassion]

I upgraded my firefox as well & I can still get on but I have noticed that my Norton always alerts me when I log onto mIRC so it could be your spyware/antivirus program shutting you down.

Hey peoples I wanted to say the number of people in the chat room keeps growing, and it's really not too difficult, so everyone should give it a try!

[AlxBlack17]

I decided to try it out yesterday, it took all over five minutes to download, connect and join the chatroom. C'mon, we need more people!

[abbycrazed]

i don't have a firewall. well i do, but it's disabled. i know that's dangerous but i can't run ANYTHING if it's enabled.

[Stace87]

I have been made aware by a couple of people that have now joined the chatroom, that an extra screenshot could do with being added to the guide. I have added this into the guide at the start of the thread also.
