    Do not edit the Config file with Wordpad.

    Note: on Windows, only use notepad to edit client.cfg. wordpad and the DOS edit command strip off important end-of-line characters in the file and client.exe will reset it to its default values. In notepad you will see an empty rectangle character after each field: this is the end-of-line character and it must not be removed. "

    using DOS edit will also retain the correct format
    Use the right tool for the right job!

    If you use the dos box in windows and use type...
    Code:
    type client.cfg
    [settings]
    email=YourEmailAddy@YourDomain.com
    server=eon.cm.utexas.edu
    port=10204
    loglevel=0
    
    [firewall]
    active=no
    host=hostname
    port=1080
    userpass=user:passwd
    
    [apps]
    client=al110c
    version=1
    if it doesn't look like that, then your [] squares were removed?
