→The Basics of IRC
Once installed and running, you will have such options as connecting to various servers. We're particularly interested in the one which the seneca chatroom is located.

===Protecting your Nickname===
Once connected to the server, it is a good idea to register your nick, otherwise someone can impersonate you and steal your nick -- Forcing you to change your name again.
If someone has taken your registered nick, or you have a zombie in the channel (Where you drop connection but you still appear in the channel), there is a command to fix that.
{|class="wikitable sortable" border="1" cellpadding="5"! Command !! Description|-| <code>/msg NickServ RECOVER [nick] [personal password]</code> || <code>RECOVER</code> Kill another user who has taken your nick(leave out the brackets [])|-|-| <br /><br /code>Syntax : /msg NickServ RECOVER GHOST [nick] [personal password]<br /code>|| <code>GHOST<br /code>/* leave out Kills the brackets [] */ nickname (NOTE: Please use the Ghost command instead for nowand leave out the brackets [])

NOTE: Stick with <code>GHOST </code> for now, as Recover <code>RECOVER</code> is becoming more obsolete.
