Too Slow: A few second longer time to connect to remote computer.

Connect Timeout Too Fast (or Wait Too Long To Retry)

Too Slow: Waiting too long to retry if you didn't provide correct connect port address.

Do Not Resolve Address Name While Connecting

x Chat will try to check the hostname while connecting to remote computer. If you are not using fast connection and do not have DNS server setup properly, you can disable this feature. Once it is off, x Chat won't show your local information during startup.

Name Resolution Using Hosts File

If the hostname you enter does not resolve to IP address, then you may use 'HOSTS' file to add this hostname to the hosts table. Next times, when you enter hostname, the program will look up the table and retrieve the IP address from there.

You may have a look of the following Microsoft support document.

Sample

This is the sample hosts file for your reference. It does not have any effect to hosts table. (For Windows 95/98 only, Windows NT does not have this sample.)

Restore Default

Restore default advanced setting if you mess up the above setting.
