Renaissance currently is migrating to a new IRCserver. Our new irc server offers much more improved features versus the former. You can easily connect to our new irc server using our web based irc client by clicking here. Renaissance Web based IRC Step 1. Download a IRC Client. For the purpose of this guide I will be using MIRC. You can download it from CNET here Install the program using the default settings. Step 2. Using the MIRC Menu select File -> Select Server. You will see a list of default servers. Lets add our own. Click the Add button on the right. Enter in the following information to create a connection to the WildIRC Server. Description: Can Be Anything IRC Server: irc.chat4all.org Ports: 6667 You can also configure MIRC to auto authenticate you and join your favorite channels Step 3. Now that the server is created double click on it in the list. This will take you to the connect window. Select your preferred nickname and click the connect button. Note: Once you have configured MIRC you can simple connect by clicking the lightning icon in the upper right. Step 4. Once you successfully establish a connection to the server you will be presented with a chanel list. Enter UOR into the box. Click Join and your ready to go.

Re: Basic IRC Guide A+ guide. Thanks Chris! You can also set MIRC up to authorize you and autojoin all of your favorite IRC channels when you start up the program. If anybody wants the details just shoot me a PM.
Re: Basic IRC Guide It always times out, I can't connect. Is there something I am missing? Do i need to unblock a port or something? Thank you.
Re: Basic IRC Guide I am having the same problem now... however, I did not have this problem until switching to the new irc server (irc.chat4all.org/us.chat4all.org/eu.chat4all.org/etc...) the old irc server & new server both appear to be using port 6667 (as well as others). Has anyone else had this problem since the irc server switched over? thanks for any help...
