The Navy SEALs IRC Network can be found on irc.quakenet.org. It is an Internet Relay Chat server that allows fans of NS:CO and team members of Team Mirage to communicate. It's much faster than a message board because it's a real time chat room. The NS:CO IRC network is generously hosted by QuakeNet IRC servers.

To connect to an IRC server you need an IRC client. The most famous Windows IRC client is mIRC. It is easy to install and even easier to use. The mIRC site also features installation guides and help sections that deal with a lot of problems you might run into. It also answers possible questions. MAC users might want to try out the IRCle IRC Client.

There are a couple of NS:CO related channels to be found on irc.quakenet.org, each one serving a slightly different purpose.
