I keep getting disconnected. I have never set one of these up before. I downloaded the HIRC. Any suggestions?

HIRC or MIRC?

I can guide you on the shoutbox through MIRC..

Four of us are already there :sweatingbullets:

Okay, I like the idea, but, I'v never used MIRC before, so N1K, if you could write a little guide in the first post ?

Thanks in advance

I'll write up a guide in a minute. Don't worry about it N1K, I got it covered because it was me who pushed to get the channel opened

I think that tut for ChatZilla, a firefox plug-in and MIRC tut would be just fine. :thumbsup_anim:

mIRC

Open mIRC. Open the options page (ALT + O)

Full name: Your first name, or nickname

EMail Address: I just tend to put in a fake one

Nickname: Your Desired Nickname

Alternative: Your desired nickname, slightly modifed incase of a ping timeout

Click the + next to "Connect" in the left side tree and click "Servers"

Click Add

Description: DALnet

Address: redemption.ix.us.dal.net

ports: 6667

Group: (don't put anything here)

Password: (enter the password for your account here later)

Now, highlight the server and click the button, "Select" then click OK.

In the top left hand corner of the mIRC screen, there is a button, if you hover over it, it says Connect. Click it.

You will see a lot of text pass by, and it will eventually stop. This is where you type the following command:

/join #WinCert.Net

This will join you to the channel.

If you wish to register your name (highly recommended) please type the following command filling in the blanks.

/msg nickserv@services.dal.net REGISTER <password> <email>

<password> is the password you wish to have

<email> is your e-mail address

You will have to confirm your account, instructions are in the email.

Now, once you have done this, open Options again (CTRL + O) and enter your password in the "Connect" screen.

If you need more help, please let me know. If you follow the steps to the letter, you will be on IRC in no time

I'll get one up for the other 2 later, I'm absolutely dead tired right now. I think I'm getting a cold or something. Anyway, hope that helps
