  1. Choose a WebIRC password.

  2. Configure your servers. How to do so is listed below for each server type.
    • IP addresses are in the section above for reference and in each IRCd specific section below.
    • Please have your settings saved and rehashed
  3. Gather the following information so that you may supply it in the following step.
    • Network name

    • A list of all DNS entries that point to your network.
      • e.g., irc.blah.net, blah.com, oldname.com etc.
      • In the case that not all servers in your network are set up with WebIRC, a list of the servers with WebIRC enabled.
    • Preferred connect server or round robin and the port number (if not 6667)

    • Server admin's nickname on server
    • WebIRC password (maximum length 20 characters, please use only a..z,A..Z and 0..9)

        • you want to see your server listed in the main client's Home > IRC: dropdown list.
      • If there are reports that the Mibbit client cannot connect, once the entry is set up, then the "public" entry will be removed.
