What is IRC?
IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a multi-user, multi-channel chatting system. Imagine sitting in front of your computer and "talking" through typed messages with either one person or many other people from all over the Internet, all in real time! Best of all, once you get set up, chatting on IRC is totally free!
How do I get one of these?
You will need to download a client, mIRC is recommended:
You can find the mIRC install files here: http://www.mirc.com/get.html
Install mIRC in your preferred folder, and start it up!
Setting up mIRC.
When first starting up, mIRC will prompt you with a window that it will expire in 30 days. Don't worry about this, you will still be able to use it after thirty days without a problem.
After pressing continue, You will be prompted with the mIRC Options form:
- Real name: Do not fill in your real name for your own security! A nickname will suffice here.
- Email address: You can put your e-mail here (they won't send you any mail), though you are not obliged to. You can fill in anything you wish.
- Nickname: Fill in your nickname.
- Alternative: Fill in a second nickname in case your first one is in use.
When filled in, click on "Servers" under the "Connect" tree.
Click "Add", and fill everything out like below:
