You will see a series of messages appear on your screen, unless one says unable to connect, timed out or disconnected and you were not able to connect to Undernet, these things as this time are not really important other than you'll see the server's MOTD (Message of the Day) on your screen once you're logged on. Click that, and it will start the connection process. Under the file menu, you should see from the drop down ?Connect?. Click 'ok' on the options window to close it out. Now that the connection details are setup, its time to connect to the server.
UNDERNET LIMECHAT PASSWORD

For description, type in 'Undernet irc' or whatever description you wish to use. Now, click on the button labeled 'add' to the right. In the first dropdown at the top, select 'all'. You should see to the right a set of buttons saying 'add', 'edit', 'connect to irc server', etc. Open the file drop down, and select 'options'.

UNDERNET LIMECHAT INSTALL
Each server knows who is on the network, which chat rooms (called "channels" on IRC) the users are in, and which servers the users are using as well.ĭownload and install the mIRC program on your computer. All servers on a network share and have access to the same information. Since all the servers are connected to each other, you are connected to all the other users even though they may not be connected to the same server as you.

When you log onto an IRC network, you are connecting to one of the servers on that network. YouĬonnect to the Internet as usual through your Internet Service Provider,Īn IRC Network is a collection of servers linked together. The server you connect to when you connect to the Internet. In order to use IRC, you have to connect to an IRC Server in an IRC Network. Undernet is one of the many IRC networks available, although we know the Undernet experience to be the best. With IRC, however, anyone can chat in real-time with anyone else, or even in rooms (called channels) filled with many people at once, as long as they are logged on to the same network. In its most humble beginnings, it was designed as an improvement to the UNIX operating system's "talk" program, which was limited to only two users at a time.
