How to connect to IRC

[user-7256]

Hi,

I don't use IRC hardly ever, if ever, so .... I want to connect to it...

What is #umc, first of all?

And what would irc.domainname.com be?

The fields I have for the new connection are:

Server Alias, irc.trillian.com::6667, Nickname, Username, User Info

What goes where? Lol, how can I connect?

Thanks,
-Matt

Which client are you using?
mIRC seems to be one of the more popular ones.

I'm using Trillian. Please don't try to convince me to change; I won't.

But I would add rep for some help

I don't know how to connect Microdude, so I obviously can't use the channel right now...

What is #umc, first of all?
it is the channel irc networks are made or many channels where people talk about different things
And what would irc.domainname.com be?
that is the server you connect to it so that you have access to the channels

Server Alias, irc.trillian.com[server address]::6667[the port you are using to connect to the server], Nickname[the name you want people to be able to see], Username[aother name thing], User Info[user info]

The only way I know how to connect through IRC is through mirc, so sorry I'm afraid I can't help you
