What is IRC?

IRC, short for Internet Relay Chat, offers a worldwide multi-user chat network, where people meet to talk in groups, or privately. Lots of people can participate in the real time discussions, and the number of topics covered on IRC is endless.

To connect to IRC you'll need a small chat program like mIRC. mIRC is the shareware IRC chat program made for Windows by Khaled Mardam-Bey. It offers a fast and clean interface to IRC and it is well equipped with options and tools.

How do I connect to the #bandmusic chat room?

You can use an IRC client software such as mIRC. Most users on #bandmusic users used mIRC.

How do I connect using mIRC or other chat software?

The server address is IRC.GALAXYNET.ORG. To configure mIRC to access this site do the following -

a. Click on File
b. Click on Setup
c. DO NOT ENTER your real name - use your online nickname
d. DO NOT ENTER your email address. Use anon@somewhere.com. This is due to the fact that others can use software to determine your e-mail address and possibly harass you with unwanted e-mail.
e. Enter your online nickname
f. Enter an alternate name...usually your nickname with a 01 appended i.e. NAME01
g. Click on Connect Invisible – this will keep others from tracking where you are on IRC.
h. Rress Ok
i. Type /server irc.galaxynet.org

Once you get to the server you will see a welcome screen. Type the following

/JOIN #BANDMUSIC

and press ENTER. You are connected!
