Installing an IRC client is easy. If you need help, look over the homepage for FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions), read the help files or ask help from a friend. Once you downloaded and installed your client properly, you will want to connect to an Undernet server. You can check out a full listing of servers or connect to a random server. To connect to a random server in the United States, type /server us.undernet.org in your IRC client. To connect to a European server, type /server eu.undernet.org in your client. If you have trouble connecting to a random server, try some of the servers on the server listing.

If you have any questions or need help after connecting to IRC, just type /join #UserGuide to ask for help. It will be a pleasure for us to give answers to your questions! You can also email user-com@undernet.org.
