Heres a small tutorial...
1.) download/install mIRC from
www.mirc.com
2.) Open the program, get past all the stuff about registering it, etc. It says
you have 30 days but in reality you can use it forever without paying a dime.
3.) Enter a name and e-mail (they don't have to be real but you have to enter this
info because the servers identify you by a hostmask, which uses part of your
e-mail address to formulate)
4.) Enter a nickname and backup nickname, you can't have the same nick as
someone else using the same network
5.) After you finish filling out the information, go to "Servers" which
is a sub-field of the "Connect" tab you are currently in.
6.) click "Add" on the right
7.) Fill out the fields as follows:
Description: SDN (or whatever you want to call it)
IRC Server: irc.studentdoctor.net
Ports: 6667
Group: leave blank
Password leave blank.
8.) Click on the SDN server you just added and click "select" on the righthand side.
9.) You'll be back in the "Connect" menu. Click on "connect" and you should connect
to the server. You'll see a bunch of text scroll up. When it stops, you'll see this
(or something like it):
There are 11 users and 8 invisible on 2 servers
1 operator(s) online
3 channels formed
I have 14 clients and 1 servers
-
Current Local Users: 14 Max: 14
10.) In the main window, type "/join #lounge" - Alternatively, you can go up
to "Commands" - "Join Channel" and type #lounge.
You can also type /list
This will list all the channels on the network with more than 3 people.
