Vector set it up, and I'll tell you how to get in! It's basically a chatroom, in case you were wondering : )

STEP 1: Download the IRC Client

Go to http://www.xchat.org, click 'Download XChat'

I picked this client because of the easy to read layout when you are multiple channels/servers. If you prefer something else, then you don't need this howto : P

STEP 2: INSTALL

Image

Double-click the following icon to install the client. Once open you'll have to click in the following sequence to successfully install the program.

Next > Next > Next > Install > Next > Finish

STEP 3: START PROGRAM

Image

Once complete, double-click the Orange X icon.

STEP 4: SETUP THE NETWORK

This is the next window you will see.

Type in your preferred nickname and alternates. Lets try to keep it the same as your Forum Name, to make it easier on all of us.

Scroll down to 'FreeNode' in the network list and click 'Edit...'

STEP 5: EDIT FREENODE

Image

Put a check in the box next to 'Auto connect to this network at startup.'

Type

#dallaspua artist

in the channels to join field, then click 'Close.'

Now, click 'Connect.'

STEP 6: CHAT YOUR LITTLE HEART AWAY

I hope you can figure it out from here...
