Irc is in first line a chat.

you need a script to get connected to the servers.
Userfriendly is mirc. But there are a lots of them, for every behaviour.

Install or extract the script.

start the script (here for example mirc)

For users who start irc first time:
Go to the optionsmenu.
In the tree go to connect. Enter your nickname, somekind of emailaddress and a fake name in the fields.
now go to servers
in the field irc network, choose EFnet.
the go on in the category connect -> options. There you see some marking fields. Mark the fields connect on startup and reconnect on disconnection.
so click on okay.

Now you can click on the button connect to server in the upper left. The status window should now show something like:
[11:29am] * Connecting to irc.efnet.net (6667)
[11:29am] * Unable to connect to server (Connection attempt timed out)
[11:30am] * Connect retry #1 216.193.223.223 (6667)
[11:30am] Notice: [216.193.223.223] *** Looking up your hostname...
[11:30am] Notice: [216.193.223.223] *** Checking Ident
[11:30am] Notice: [216.193.223.223] *** Found your hostname
[11:30am] Notice: [216.193.223.223] *** No Ident response
[11:30am] Welcome to the EFnet Internet Relay Chat Network Munsterbu
[11:30am] Modes: +i

Now type in the field where the cursor is blinkink: /join #fileforums
There you are.

When you are already using a script

Type /server -m irc.efnet.net -m /join #fileforums

Don't be shy
First 25 new chatters get a cookie*

Head over to www.mirc.com and download what you need to connect - it should be pretty straight forward for new users - join an efnet server and join channel #Fileforums

BW has a webcam active and is preparing his 'python' act for later tonight - 10pm GMT sharp. Don't miss out!

The easiest way to get on to the IRC networks is by using a program called mIRC. which is freely available at http://www.mirc.com

forget the scripts, mirc comes with standard stuff - when you download the program you it will have a list of servers already in there - just try and connect to any of the EFNET servers and then to get into the channel you want.. just type /join #whatevertheChannelNameIs
get it?

very simple...
have fun..
