First of all, IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat, and is compatible many chat programs. Such as Opera, mIRC, XChat, or Miranda-IM. OperaNet is a chat network where you can communicate with other people in real-time from the MyOpera community. This blog post will show you how to set up IRC using Opera's built-in chat client.

NOTE: These steps are for Opera's chat client only.

Pre-Step: Download Opera.

Step 1: Click on: Tools > Mail and Chat Accounts.

Step 2: Select: Chat(IRC) then hit Next >.

Step 3: Follow the on-screen instrutions. On "real name", your first name only is acceptable. After that, enter in your e-mail address.

Step 4: Enter in your nickname. Your MyOpera nickname will do fine here.

Step 5: In the box, delete what's in it and type in: irc.opera.com

Step 6: Enjoy! A box should pop up fetching the rooms from OperaNet. Offical Opera rooms are #opera and #lounge. You can join them by finding them in the list or clicking on 'Join' and typing them in. My offical chat room to discuss my blog posts, photos, and friends chat is #penguin . Or if you simply can't wait for me to answer one of your PM's just go here.
