Before you click "OK" I recommend setting other options like the following.The "Nickname" field is where you enter the name you wish to go by on the IRC channels (channels = chat rooms). I do not recommend entering in your actual information instead enter fake information. This is where you will enter your personal information. After you click "Continue", a new window will appear.You can continue using mIRC for free, but it would be nice of you to pay the creator of the program. It says that there is only a 30 trial, but you do not have to pay for it.Run the mIRC executable, and you will see a window that looks like this.You may have to allow it through your firewall/network. Note: mIRC does need to connect to the internet.Installing mIRC is pretty straight forward, and doesn't need any explanation. You will need to install it after the installer is finished downloading.So with that said lets start!įor this tutorial, I will be connecting to the Smokin' Guns ICR channel on the freenode server This tutorial is for mIRC, others may choose to post alternatives if they so choose. There are many other IRC clients such as XChat, Trillian, Pidgin, etc. The way I show you may not be the correct way or the way you prefer but it is the way that I prefer. I will show you how to setup mIRC for the first time. I am not an mIRC expert I am just a user who decided to write a tutorial. A user familiar with mIRC will not find this tutorial useful (and may find errors too). This tutorial's purpose is to guilde the reader through the process of using mIRC for the first time. The IRC channel is a great way to chat with other gamers, dev members, and organizations.
