Solution:

You don't need an MSN Group to use ParaChat. In fact, you don't even need a web site at all! Your ParaChat service includes a web page where your ParaChat room is hosted. To generate the link to your ParaChat room web page, log into your service administration web page. Click the ROOMS tab, and edit a room. Under "Display Room Codes" in the left navigation, click the "Room Link Code" link.

If you have a new web site, you can embed your ParaChat service directly in a web page on your new web site. Your ParaChat room code is found in your original order confirmation email. You may also retrieve your code from your service administration web page. Click the ROOMS tab, and edit a room. Under "Display Room Codes" in the left navigation, click the "Standard Room Code" link. Copy/paste the code into the HTML source of your web site.

To edit your allowed web address list so connections are permitted from your new web site, please log into your ParaChat service administration web page. Click the SITE tab. In the left navigation under "Security Settings", click the "Main Security" link.
