Download, Install, and Run XChat-2 for Windows.

Click the XChat menu.

• Click Server list
• Scroll Down on the Networks list
• Select 'Majistic' and click Edit
• Check "Auto connect to this network at startup"
• Uncheck "Use SSL for all servers on this network" and "Accept invalid SSL certificate"
• Channels to join: #rockhill
• Connect command and Server password leave blank
• Nickserv password: password of your choice
• Character set: UTF-8
• Click Close
• Check "Skip server list on startup"
• Choose your nickname
• Username: generally the same as your nickname
• Real name: your real name, obviously
• Click Close and restart XChat

When XChat starts up again, it should automatically connect you to the Majistic IRC network and join #rockhill. At this point you should register your nickname with the password you've specified earlier. Type the following command.

/msg nickserv register <your password> <your email address>

From now on, whenever you connect to the Majistic IRC Network, it will automatically log you in using your password. If you're disconnected and reconnect to find that your nickname still exists even though you've been disconnected you can type the following commands to regain the handle on your nickname.

/msg nickserv ghost <your nickname> <your password>
/nick <your nickname>
/msg nickserv identify <your password>
