You will need two things.
1) FireFox 3.6 or higher
2) ChatZilla Plugin for FireFox
*Add ChatZilla to FF and restart.
*At the FF main menu click Tools > Add-Ons, find and click on the ChatZilla section and then click the Options button in the lower left corner which will bring up the ChatZilla Options window.
*In the Options window click the General tab find the text-box labeled nickname and enter the name you wish to use for the chat room.
*Next, click on the Startup tab and in the lower section labeled Auto-Connect URLs, click the Add button, enter irc://irc.freenode.net/team_seti.usa into the popup window and click OK. Now click the OK button in the Preferences window and close FireFox.
