Mirc Set Up

Follow these steps to access my chat channel (amongst thousands of others) using software called "Mirc". The download is tiny, and the steps should take about 10 minutes to complete.

Step One
First of all, download Mirc at the following link: http://www.mirc.com/get.html
Best pick the one specific to your country, but I don't think it really matters.
 
Step Two
Once downloaded, open the program. Click continue when the window pops up. You'll never need to "register" so just ignore that. Now you'll be asked to fill in your full name, e-mail (they never send you anything, don't worry) Nickname and Alternative Nickname. Fill the boxes, but don't click OK or anything at this stage.

 
 
 
 
 
 
NB: Once you have set up the above, you don't need to do it all again every time you want to log in the my channel. So next time you use mIRC, just connect to the server and you're away :)

Step Three
On the left "Category" menu, click "Server". Click "Add". Under Description put ircstorm and under IRC server put ircstorm.net. Click "Add" to finish this window.
 
Now on the left "Category" menu, click "Options". Click "Perform..." and in the blank white box (titled Perform Commands) type:
/join #travisonlinechat

Step Four
Click OK, and then OK again. Now see the lightning bolt in the top left of the screen? Click it. This will connect you to the server (hopefully). If successful, you should be in! Just cancel that "Mirc Favourites" window that pops up.
