- To enter the chatroom, you`ll get a security alert, asking if you wish to run the java applet. Click Yes
It`s perfectly safe.
- Next, you need to choose a name. There`s a box for you to enter any name you like, though do try not to use a common one,
like `John` or `Jane`, as most are already registered by other chatters on the network. Just adding some numbers at the end is the best
solution eg. John123. If you don't put a name in the box, you will be ejected from the chatroom.
- Now simply click on Connect Now.
-
When you enter the room, if you see a message saying "This nickname is owned by someone else..." you must do the following quickly,
or you will be disconnected from the chat network.
Type /nick newnickname where newnickname is any name but the one you were using, and don`t forget to include the / .

Connection Problems: If you have trouble getting into the room, click on Config and select a different server
from the server list and then click on connect again.
A few frequently asked questions are...
Q: When I entered the room, I was immediately kicked out. Why?
A: Either you didn`t choose a name before entering, or you chose a name that was unsuitable for use in the room.
Q: This looks like irc. Can I get in here using
mirc ?
A: Yes. We`re on Dalnet, in room #Benway.
Q: If I use mirc, how do I see the webcams?
A: Just click...
HERE , and bookmark it. The webcams menu will appear in the small popup window.
Q: How do you do that `* Benway waves`, or `* Benway nods` thing?
A: Just type "/me waves", including the / but excluding the ", and see what happens.
Q: All I said was "asl?" Why did I get such a negative response?
A: It`s a matter of etiquette. Some things just aren`t liked here, and `asl` is one of them. It labels you as a lamer. Check out the
rules, or click
HERE for more details of what qualifies as lame behaviour.
