Ya when i pasted the file it used the minecraft1.1 as the file name. So I deleted the 1.1 part of the name and bingo !

Thank you MIZE I appreciate your reply. I've been reading the Wiki... but missed the commands page. That is handy! Here's hoping I can find my way around the server. It is quite overwhelming tbh. Audrey

I'm so new to this server stuff.... apprently you have to hti the "T" key to type!

I finally got into Minetown on the full server... my app was approved days ago... and I still CAN NOT USE CHAT..... Can someone please help me! Thanks so much Audrey

FYI it was because I didn't take the 1.1 out of the name of the jar file I pasted in the bin folder!
