When you click on the above link you will be taken to a page with a java® applet.

1. You must have java® enabled on your computer.

2. Please change the name from 'Guest' to a unique nickname. Common names may be registered by someone else and will cause you to be disconnected. This can be avoided by adding numbers or "MG" to the end of your nickname. For example, change 'Joe' to 'JoeMG' or 'Joe567'. Registered nicknames can only be used through PhaZenet(see below for details on entering the chat room through mIRC.)

3. If you are disconnected, please choose an alternate 'Server Name' before trying to re-connect (and try making your nickname more unique.)

4. If you still can not connect to the chat room please email MGnet Chat Help
