+The Hokesters Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Why not come and join the fun...Evenings are the busiest but you will find folks in there at all times of the day. The instructions may look a little complicated but so long as you follow them carefully it is very easy. The following link will allow you to get in to StuartP's Geocaching Chat Room without downloading a piece of software - although you will need to have 'Java' installed. (If you have problems loading the webpage see the notes on Java below). www.hokesters.co.uk/IRC/ Click the link above and then bookmark it for future use. You will have to wait a moment whilst the applet logs on. When you see 'End of MOTD Command' you are logged on to the server. *NOTE 1. If you don't get 'End of MOTD Command' and you can see 'GeoGuest Nickname already in use'. This means someone else is logging on. Allow a couple of moments before refreshing the web browser (F5). When logged on please type the following; /nick *your cache name* (eg. /nick hokesters and press enter. *NOTE 2. Your Chat Room Nickname must not contain anything other than alphanumeric characters and no spaces you may use hyphen '-' or underscore '_'. when you have logged your nickname now type; /join geocaching You are now ready to chat - Enjoy! Java Notes - You must have Java installed to run this webpage. Java is a small add-on for Internet Explorer or Firefox which allows your browser to run small programs within the browser window. If you do not have Java installed you should be prompted to install it when you first run the chatroom link. If not it could be because of your security settings. Visit Java Home an click the 'Windows XPI - Download'. Follow the instructions then try to reload the chat room link. If you are still having problems it could be security settings in your browser. In Firefox - Tools>>Options>>Web Features - ensure both Enable Java and Enable Javascript are ticked. In IE - Tools>>Options>>Advanced - ensure Java is enabled. If you are still having problems it is most likely to be your firewall settings. At this point you need to contact the manufacturer/supplier/administrator of the firewall. Of course if you are IRC savvy and have a stand-alone IRC client (such as mIrc or IceChat) you can follow these settings; IRC Server: greed.uk.nixhelp.org Server Port: 6667 Channel: #geocaching We look forward to seeing you in there.

+Us 4 and Jess Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 i think (although im not puter whizz) that has something to do with your firewall Quote Link to comment

If you are still struggling give me a shout. Si Quote Link to comment

I want to come and chat and maybe wind you all up. Did you get this solved? If you are using IE6 then you should have got a beige alert bar under your toolbars. Clicking on that should have allowed the activex. Quote Link to comment
+Pengy&Tigger Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Lacto/Ecky, Any chance we could have this thread pinned to the top so new folks can see it? Ta Quote Link to comment

+Stuey Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I dunno who's idea it was to run a Quiz-bot in there (at the moment), but if it's supposed to be Geocaching chat, that's what it should be. There area a million other quiz/trivia chat rooms in the world..... Ho hum. Quote Link to comment
Leoness Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 It's OK now, Stuey - they've had enough of that game and gone back to chat! Quote Link to comment
+The Cache Hoppers Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Anyone else having trouble getting into the chatroom tonight? I managed to get in there for about 10 seconds - there were no mods/bots, and a quick query got the response "Netsplit" whatever that means. Liane, baffled in Berkshire. Quote Link to comment
+civilised Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 What server is this on in irc ? Undernet, Dalnet, IRCnet etc etc. Thanks civilised Quote Link to comment
+Pengy&Tigger Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 The server is nixhelp. There has been a netsplit this evening and anyone using the greed.uk.nixhelp.org cannot connect. If you know how, use envy.uk.nixhelp.org or lust.uk.nixhelp.org servers instead. T Quote Link to comment

I believe it's all in the top post of this thread, along with the essential instructions. Not got round to trying it myself yet. The nights haven't quite drawn in enough. I'm still planning a few new caches before the weather puts me off. Quote Link to comment
+The Hokesters Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 What's the URL for this thing? Are you still struggling Forester? The full instructions are at the top of this thread. Simon Quote Link to comment

Pid Its on the post at the top of this thread but as it's a long way up to there the answer is, IRC Server: greed.uk.nixhelp.org Server Port: 6667 Channel: #geocaching You can also use lust or envy in place of greed Quote Link to comment
Ben Pid Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 cool, didnt read properly must admit. Will be logging on when get in from work, tried it at work but 6667 isn't open so it cant id check Quote Link to comment
StuartP Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 You should wherever possible use IRC Server: irc.nixhelp.org Server Pot: 6667 Channel: #geocaching This will ensure that you get on even if there is a probelm with the server greed. Cheers Stuart Quote Link to comment
+The Hokesters Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 Just a customary BUMP! Quote Link to comment
