IRC chat Problem

I thought, yes me, (LP ), would finally bring this up.
Well, I've been trying to get onto the IRC here, cus everyone uses it, and I want to.

Heres the problem:

When I go on, I type in the name I want, then I choose what version I want, lite or heavy, but then, when everything loads up, I lose connection with the internet.
MY ADSL just goes away, you might not know what ADSL is with our internet in New Zealand, but I bet some Kiwis do understand.

Well, yeah, I try go on but lose connection and I've got to restart the computer to get it back. It's kinda annoying, so can anyone help me, please?

Thanks.

So you're trying the webbased chatapp from greywool, right?

Have you also tried to install an IRC program, like chatzilla?

The issues that "greywool" chat has are mentioned in the [faq]. Reading it could help you a bit further.

I just click the "chat" button at the top and go from there, if that's what you mean.
Yeah, I had chatzilla, someone told me to download, it didn't work. Even when I type in all the IRC stuff to connect to it, still lost connection.
