This tutorial will explain how to configure mIRC for use with a psyBNC.

Find more information on mIRC on www.mirc.com
and for psyBNC on www.psybnc.info.


Add your bouncer to mIRC server list



IP address - the IP address of your psybnc bouncer.

Port - the port, where the psyBNC listens.

Username - your username/login/ident for the bouncer.



Open your mirc then go to your option by typing (alt + o).




Search connect till the box open (above picture). Write the bouncer IP address, which you received from your provider, into the field IRC Server.

Next step is:

Check mIRC Identd settings


Now, check your mIRC Identd options. Make sure that the User ID field 
matches your bouncer username (= login, ident)!



Next Step is:

Connect to bouncer!






Select the bouncer server entry which you added in step 1. Then make sure that
the Email Address field matches your bouncer username (= login, ident).

For example, if your bouncer username is value, then your email address
setting should be something like value@provider.com.

Tips & Tricks

If you have problems logging into your bouncer ...


Check the identd and email address settings in your mIRC! Both must match your
psyBNC username.

psyBNC says: "Cannot create listening port .. aborting"

If you have a shell and setup your own psyBNC, and see this error message,
try to use a different listening port (not the default 31337!). Also, use a 
vhost IP as the listening IP, not the default ("*").

The setting in psybnc.conf should, for example, look like:

PSYBNC.SYSTEM.PORT1=31440


PSYBNC.SYSTEM.HOST1=*



I tried everything but my psy still doesn't connect to IRC!

Make sure you add correct irc server and correct irc port, and check the vhost you have added (make sure you put the coorect vhost, because valueshells have 2 server).
