1st download mIRC. You can go either do a net search or go to the
following:
Make sure you get the one for your operating system. Then install it, an
run it and:
When you start up the program, you get a start screen telling you that
the program is shareware. On the left is a small Icon labeled mIRC. Click
on
this. You get a mIRC setup screen. Enter the appropriate info, your name,
e-mail, and nickname. You make have to play with this, as if someone
already has that 'nick', you'll have to choose another.
Then check out the list of IRC Servers. I usually use EFnet: CA,Magic.
Some you can get on, some you can't. Choose connect ... if you are
successful
then you choose your discussion group (channel group). A mIRC Channels
Folder pops up with some generic stuff. At the top is a entry area ...
enter #dakota and click the Add button to add #dakota to the list. Click
on #dakota and then click Join. Let me know what happens then.
