Need advice - MA Nation, Strategy and Pretender

Okay I downloaded mIRC and have no clue what to do next.

That IRC thread didn't help a whole lot.

Need VERY specific step by step idiot proof instructions. Think of me as G W Bush trying to do IRC.

Load it up, and type /join #dominions
That should work.

Load it up? you mean start mIRC, okay did that. Can't connect to a server.

Typing /join #dominions after not connecting says I need to connect, but it won't connect.

Keeps repearting over and over "Unable to connect to server (Connection refused)

Yeh, on retry #29 it connected to something.

Could your firewall be stopping it or something?

Add new server:

Server = irc.gamesurge.net

port = 6667

Put any description you want. Connect to that server.

Then add channel #dominions also name it how you want. Then join that channel.

50 tries and still refusing connection to irc.gamesurge.net

Keep getting the saem lines scrolling

* Connect retry #nn irc.gamesurge.net (6667) (dns pool)
-
* Unable to connect to server (Connection refused)
-

Under the mIRC "Files" dropdown "select server" "Identd" menu "Enable Identd server" is checked but it says system: UNIX - - I am using Vista???

Could this be a problem?

And no, I'm not upgrading to XP, have enough problems doing simple things like not connecting to IRC.
