April 2nd 2004 Setting up a New mIRC Link

1. start mIRC
   
   
2. click "continue"
   
   
3. click the sun icon next to the connect to server button
   
   
4. click "add"
   
   PLEASE NOTE:-I apologise for a very stupid error that I made when originally setting this up. I typed the new server name as dialexnet.net and that is what the original screenshot showed: the correct name is dilexnet.net as now shown above
5. Then enter a suitable description and the server reference as shown above
   
6. click "OK"
   
7. wait for room to start loading
   If this is your initial mIRC setting up you will get a list of existing favorites
   
8. click "add"
9. enter #gordonlightfootchat as shown below
   
10. click "OK"
    
11. Now scroll down until you see your newly added channel
    
12. delete all the superfluous channels above #gordonlightfootchat so that it is top of the list
    
    
13. Finally and if necessary click "Join"
    
14. You should now have a chat screen with at the very top the mIRC logo then
    mIRC followed by the channel name and the number of chatters in parentheses
