			Go to "your settings," and then under "networks," click "add." Give it a name, set your nicknames, etc, and then under "servers," click "add." Add the address of the server, <strong>and make sure the port is correct</strong>. Usually it helps to uncheck the box in the "SSL" column, as it doesn't work with all servers. Then scroll down to the bottom and click "add network and continue." You've just added a network - time to add some channels.

			Now, under "channels," click "add." In the "channel name" field, type in the channel's name (for example, <code>#general</code>). <strong>Then make sure to check the box that says "enabled."</strong> Then click "Add channel and return," and your bouncer is set up. Now all that's left is to connect to it.
