| Step 1: |
Download mIRC from http://www.mirc.com/get.html and when downloaded run the Run the mircXXX.exe installation program (XXX denotes the mIRC version number which is 616 at time of writing).
|
Step 2: |
When installation has completed run mIRC and a window similar to the one shown below should appear (Note: This window will not appear if you register mIRC. Registration is not required, even after the 30 days trial is complete). If this window does appear click the "Continue" button.

|
Step 3: |
A mIRC options window will now appear. Double click the "Connect" category on the left hand side and then enter your your name,
email address, nickname and alternative nickname in the respective boxes.

Note: Ensure that the required information for all four boxes has been entered.
|
Step 4: |
Click on the "Servers" sub category and then click on the drop down box arrow under IRC Network. Scroll down the list and select
QuakeNet and then click the "Connect to Server" button.

|
Step 5: |
A favorite channel window will appear as shown below. As almost all the favorites shown in the list will be of no interest to most
people it is best to delete them so access to your real favorites is a little easier.

To delete all of the current favorite channels:
� Hold down the "Left Shift" key (Under the Caps Lock on the left of your keyboard)
� Single left click the top item in the list (Whilst still holding down the "Left Shift" key)
� Scroll to the bottom of the list and click on bottom item in the list (Whilst still holding down the "Left Shift" key)
� All of the channels in the list should now be highlighted. If not perform the previous instructions again.
� Click the "Delete" button
� The favorite channels list should now be empty
|
Step 6: |
Now that the favorite channels list is empty we can add The Conclave IRC channel as a favorite and set it to open automatically every time you use mIRC.
Remove the tick from the "Pop up favorites on connect" box and then click the "Add" button on the "mIRC Favorites" window. The
following window will then appear.

Enter #theconclave in the "Channel" box and place a tick in the "Join on connect" box. Click the "Add" button and the following window will
appear.

Scroll down the list and select SoreceryNet and then click the "OK" button.
|
Step 7: |
Click the "OK" button in the "Add channel" window and click the "Join" button in the "mIRC favorites" window.
mIRC will now join the "Conclave" IRC channel and will also automatically join on connect in future.
|
Step 8: |
A window similar to the following should appear. You are now in the main Conclave IRC channel.
To start chatting to other members type your message in message box as shown below and press enter the enter key to send your message to the channel. The column on the right shows the nicknames of the people currently in the channel.
