Make sure you connect to the FreeNode IRC network.  I think mIRC picks some other network by default.

Here's a mibbit.com link to get you started:

Choose a nickname, and you'll be launched into #D and #d.tango channels.

can someone tell me the auth requirements.  I am getting the following message "irc.freenode.org *** - no identd (auth) response "
Can someone tell me how to set up this up correctly ?
thanks

There are no auth requirements? Which client are you using now?

I think he's talking about this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ident

it's not critical, it just takes a bit longer to connect to the network if they don't get a response.

i am using mIRC ver 6.34.  I am getting a invalid user name message , then I get disconnected.
 does your Nickname have to match your email account ?

I have suggested you to use IRC because it's easy as a pie, you set up 2 parameters and you go. Maybe it's better for you to express your problems here, instead...

No, in fact that's probably the reason you're getting an invalid username message, it probably doesn't like @ signs.

Just pick a nice, short, alphanumeric name, like NickBarb or something.

I am now getting the message [10053 - software caused connection abort.]
any suggestions on what may be causing this?
