Barliman Connection Instructions

PC Instructions

1. Downloading
   • Go to http://www.mirc.com, the mIRC homepage. Download mIRC.
2. Installing
   • Find and open up your mIRC folder.
   • Select 'Install mIRC' and follow the directions.
3. Setting mIRC to our site
   • Launch mIRC after you have started you internet service provider (a good idea is to minimize the isp screen).
   • Close the greeting screen.
   • Go to the File menu, open it and select the Options menu.
   • You should now see a page called mIRC Options with a menu list on the left side.
   • Open the Connect menu, and you will see a page to input the name of our server and the nickname you wish to use here.
   • Click on the Add button and you will get a window called Add MIRC Server.
   • Fill in the description as you wish, then type in irc.TheOneRing.net as the server and 6667 as the port. Then close this small window.
   • Fill out the rest of the information in the mIRC Options. It's recommended that you do not use your real name when visiting all chat rooms, and although we set a high standard at Barliman's, it is not an exception to this rule.
4. Connecting
   • Click on the Connect to Server button.
     
   • After you connect to the server, a window will pop up called mIRC Channels Folder.
   • Click on the Add button and then type #theonering.net into the field.
   • Click on the Join button, and come join the party!
   • If the Channels Folder window doesn't come up, at the bottom of your mIRC window you should have a message bar for typing your messages.
   • Click on the message bar and type in this: /join #theonering.net.
   • Hit enter/return on your keyboard and you should be in!
