Sawheel: I believe you are using WebTV which does NOT allow you to change your user name in chat. The only way I know of would be for you to change the name on your account to this screen name. Sorry, I'm really not a WebTV expert, but that's what I've been told before. Maybe another WebTVer can jump in here and confirm or suggest something here?? Webkitty or Urgrace??

I have tried and tried to get into chat. Nothing! It must be something with webtv and that damn MSN. I guess I am just going to have to miss out.

Zeno39, there has been a lot of problems getting to chat tonight. If you're still around, how about trying it once more ... I'll watch this thread if you have problems.

Dra, I have tried every night to get into chat, and all I get is a white screen. Could it be that I am on a webtv, and it just won't let me join? Or maybe MSN won't permit it? I don't know.

Zeno39: Have you tried this:

To chat on WebTV:
  • Go to HOME
  • Hit COMMUNITY
  • Hit CHAT
  • In the left hand corner, hit GO TO SERVER
  • Enter the required information:
Server: irc.webchat.org
Port: 6667
Room: #tvclubchat

Yep, tried that too. Nothing seems to work. I really wish I could see what chat is all about. I'm sure I would enjoy it. Thanks for trying to help me.

And you tried to find the 'Advanced' setting as indicated for the 'newer' WebTV units?

For newer versions, of WebTv, try this:
  • Go to HOME
  • On top, click on CHAT
  • Go to ADVANCED
  • Go to SERVER
  • Enter the required information:
Server: irc.webchat.org
Port: 6667
Room: #tvclubchat


If you are able to try this right now, I can be in chat hoping to see you there. Please let me know

Tried it, and I get a blank white screen again. I will try again later. Probably around 8 or so tonight. Thanks.

Zeno39: I wonder if there's not something about your machine that is causing you problems getting there. Have you tried calling WebTV tech support about this? Do they have any ideas?? Maybe there is a software/firmware upgrade you need??

Just random thoughts...let me know.

Zeno39, Couple of us webtvers have gotten in on first try!! It must be your server. In the port area, I typed 7000, hope it works for you!:)

Please let us know.

Thanks :)

For the webbies, I used port 7000 not 6667 - try that and see if it works!
