HOW TO USE IRC CHAT ...

Optional Logon via Web Browser

If you are having difficulty using the javascript chat client provided above, try this chat client provided by Webmaster Inc here: http://webmaster.webchat.org/chat.htm?@channel=AIBO

Logon Entry Fields

• Nick - Select truly unique nickname: Grace_NYC or Grace2006 rather than Grace.
• Email - Optional identifying information, such as your email address.
• Room - Name of the channel (#AIBO) you are about to enter.

What is my password?
If it is your first time here and the chat server asks you for a password, it means that your nickname is already registered to somebody else. Disregard the request, let it time out in 60 seconds and it will assign you a generic guest name. Next, while in chat type the following command to change your nickname:

/nick your_new_nickname

How do I keep my nickname?
Once you got your nickname right, you can register it. While in chat type the following command to register your nickname:

/ns register your_password your_email

When connecting again, the small window will pop up and you will be asked for your password. That's all, you are set! Enjoy...
