=== Connecting to a server ===
 
When you hit 'chat' on Redbrick, you start Irssi, you're automatically connected to a server, then you're joined to Redbrick's #lobby. This all happens behind the scenes, and with Weechat, you need to do this manually. Fear not: it's easy.
 
When you start Weechat, you won't get connected to a server or channel. To connect to Redbrick's IRC sever, type:
 
  /connect irc.redbrick.dcu.ie
 
Then to join #lobby:
 
  /join #lobby
 
As well as showing you how IRC clients (such as Weechat or Irssi or whatever) connect to stuff, this should also show you how to connect to other servers and channels outside of Redbrick.
