hosting LAN IRC server help

[jolteon]

My LAN party will have 60 computers connected to 10/100Mb switches and each computer will be connected to the network at 100Mb. The entire network will be using DHCP IP address on a TCP/IP network. There will be no internet access at the LAN party. Tell me the easiest to host an IRC server chat for this LAN party.

Most of the good servers run on Unix-like systems. Ill look around for Windows software. Expect it to crash though.

EDIT:
Here is a link to some, I think.

EDIT2: Removed one that was not actually an IRCd link.

here I promise some of them are servers like IRCX pro and Java TIRC server

I need an IRC server program that works with Windows XP and uses a graphical interface.

Yes, you definitely do. What about the link I posted? Did you find anything there? What do you need a gui on the server for? All of the fun stuff happens on the clients.
