You can use various programs ( mIRC, UPP or Chatzilla) this is a tutorial that should help you in case you want to use mIRC, you can find it here (http://www.mirc.com/get.html)

ok here we go, first of all open mIRC, you should have this window

after that you joined, do what the last picture says :D and you should be able to talk in mIRC

when you want to come back, cause you have turned off the pc, the info will be reset (not your nick or server) simply the fact that you are registered! to make sure your nickname doesnt get changed to Guest032525 or whatever you have to do this simple step after connecting

[Saku]

could this go on a 1997 computer with windows millenium on it?

[DarkBlood]

I'm sure it will. :p

[gdperrin]

well this tutorial was needed.... a lot.
i hope to see more ppl in irc now.
and it should work fine Saku, as long as u have an irc client you´ll be fine

[Ilesyt]

I think you should add the Identify command for the ppl who don't know it yet (/msg Nickserv Identify Password)

[Saku]

will there be a little image at the bottom or top of my screen because my mom doesnt want that

[Funchi]

correct i forgot about that one! i'll add it when i get back home!

EDIT: i added this command as well

will there be a little image at the bottom or top of my screen because my mom doesnt want that

do you have msn? there will be an icon right next to it!

after minimizing you will get small icon near the system clock if you have winxp you can hide it by clickinng with right button of your mouse on the bar at the bottom of the screen, selecting properties->hide inactive icons->adjust->find mIRC and select "always hidden"->ok->ok now you will have to click on the arrow beside the icons to see it

mhm.. did u registerd ur nickname? if it doesnt let you register it, it means that someone else did and you have to change your nickname. i hope its this! you can enter FH channel only if you are registered! in case its not this send me PM tomorrow i'll answer you, now i'm too sleepy its 3am

[DaMaster]

good tutorial :D

[Ilesyt]

funchi, a little note, the command I noted you about, you made a typo, the command shoudl be /msg Nickserv Identify Password not /nickserv Identify Password xD

[yami_no_tenshi1563]

eh really just nickserv identify password goes fine with me

[Ilesyt]

hmm it does ? I mostly just use /msg nickserv and thought that was the only way lol. Learned something new ^^

[yami_no_tenshi1563]

Yup I've always been typing just that and works out fine

[Funchi]

funchi, a little note, the command I noted you about, you made a typo, the command shoudl be /msg Nickserv Identify Password not /nickserv Identify Password xD

always used /nickserv identify password and it always worked!

anyway to starwarsdude.... i cant help you if you choose not to receive PM, anyway add my msn (if you want) and well i'll be online i'll let you explain me what is wrong with your IRC

[Munkkiman]

oi! I got problem here!

I should register my e-mail.....I type /nickserv register PASSWORD EMAIL... after I have done it, it says -NickServ- EMAIL is not a valid e-mail address.

and im using my own e-mail address....and I wrote it right....whats wrong with here?

[Anon]

you typed it in wrong, but not your mail adress but @yahoo/hotmail/gmail/whatever.com lolz

[Munkkiman]

I didint typed it wrong -_- im 100% sure about it

[Ilesyt]

seems god doesn't want him in the IRC either :D

[Seb]

you don't actually have to type /msg Nickserv Identify Password every time, theres an easy way in which your irc programme does it for you, called "perform"

tools -> options -> klick on the + next to "connect" -> "options" -> click on "perform" -> paste the /msg Nickserv Identify Password

and thats it :)

[Ilesyt]

Yeah I have that :P

it's annoying to type it in all the time.

[Munkkiman]

oi, this happens what happens when I try to register my nickname/email:

-
Cannot join channel, channel allows registered nicknames only (+R). To register your nick, type /nickserv register PASSWORD EMAIL
-
-NickServ- You must have been connected for more than 30 seconds before you
-
-NickServ- may REGISTER your nickname with NickServ. If you have changed
-
-NickServ- your nick within 30 seconds the timeout will have been reset.
-
-NickServ- For more information please join #help

and then when I try to do it again it gives: -NickServ- EMAIL is not a valid e-mail address. even though its my e-mail address 100% perfectly wrote

any ideas what I should do? give up and just continue mango dance?

[DarkBlood]

Hmmm.. Are you sure you type this when you try to register
/msg NickServ REGISTER password [email]

[Munkkiman]

bloody peanuts, woots it works!! \o/

...

*after 5min Munkkiman got kicked from #franky-house* -_-

[DarkBlood]

That's when you rejoin Munkki. ;)

[Hana-Chan]

Munkki, you get kicked cause people kick you!

[Munkkiman]

oh, I thought that toothfairies kick me...thanks for clarification

[Mario]

ee don't understand a thing when it says (/nickserv register PASSWORD EMAIL)

well when i write /nickserv register PASSWORD EMAIL... it say unknown command..

and then when i write /msg it says insufficient parameters.. i need help here

[makhan]

Google is your friend :]

/msg nickserv register PASSWORD EMAIL

You must replace PASSWORD with a password of your choice and EMAIL with a VALID email address. It must be valid as some networks like you to verify it exists by sending you an email. Once you have registered your nick, when you come back to the network you must identify yourself, you can do this with this commands..

/msg nickserv identify PASSWOR

[DarkBlood]

Mario do you understand or do you still need help?

[Mario]

well i need help darkblood

[DarkBlood]

Uhm let's see here, I'll take it in Swedish since it'll be easier. And I'll include some screenshots.

Okej, jag gissar att du redan gjort det här men det är alltid bra att vara säker.
Riktigt namn, inte viktigt men why not?
Email, mycket viktigare. :p
Nickname, nu blir det väl Mario eller något annat, men jag tror Mario är upptaget men man vet aldrig.

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j53/Dark_blood_/namnls3-2.jpg
Nu skriver du bara in som jag har gjort fast med ett lösenord istället för hihihoho och din mail istället för det jag skrev.
Då ska du få ett mail med en länk eller något som du ska bekräfta eller något, minns inte riktigt.
Gör det sen är det bara att klicka på
