Once you have the IRC (Internet Relay Channel Program) loaded on your computer, start the program. The first thing you will see is the mIRC setup box. Here you will add
your name, e-mail address, nickname, and an alternate nickname. Also if you look under the tabs at the top of the box there will be a drop down menu.
I have moved The^Journey chat channel
to DAL.net. There should be approximately eighteen different DAL.net servers. You can choose the one closest to you.
Once you have all of the information filled out and have chosen one of the
DAL.net servers click ok. At the top of the mIRC box you will see quite a few different icons across the top of the screen. The first icon on the left will be a yellow lightening bolt. Click
on this icon to connect to the server. DAL.net is different than other servers. With them you can register your nickname. That way it belongs to you and no one else will be able to use it.
Once you
are connected to DAL.net it will come up and let you know if your nickname is registered by someone else already. If so, you will need to change your nickname. Once you have your have your nickname chosen this is
where you can register it. Type in:
/msg NickServ REGISTER password
Replace the word "password" with a password that you choose. Be sure and write it down as you will need it when you log on again. My nick name is Arana. After you have finished registering your nickname type in
/join #The^Journey
This will bring you into the chat channel. Good luck and if you have any problems connecting you can contact me at the e-mail address
listed at the bottom of the page.
