Step 1.
This is the first screen you should see when you open mIRC for the first time.

Click on that star/flash looking button which will bring you to the "Servers category".
For "IRC Network", scroll and select "GameSurge"
You can now connect by pressing the large, central "Connect To Server" button, or by pressing the "yellow lightning-bolt-thingo" button on the top left toolbar.
