You need to register with WhatNET Services to be able to use the service provided in #3x, you get this notice/message from Q when you joined the channel:
After connecting to irc.whatnet.org and joining the channel you type:
This will give you the following help from the account service:
So what do you do:
1. Type in the status window:
Don't use fancy characters, just plain alphanumerical characters (a-z,A-Z,0-9). Further, make sure your email-address is existing, you should get a message there pretty soon (check your spam folder in case you didn't get one almost instantly). I recommend NOT using a Yahoo! e-mail address, they are not delivering mails correctly at present.
2. you get an email in which you are told what to do next to complete the registration:
3. In mirc go to Tools > Options > Connect > Options > Perform:
add for WhatNET :

1. If you don't add the auth command in the perform section of mIRC and thus chose to do it manually, I suggest not doing this in an active channel, but use the status windows, or else type "/query H" without the "s and type the commands in there.
2. When you have problems, provide as much relevant info like the accountname you're trying to register.
