Locating the menu After you're connected, the menu is located on the upper left corner of the client window. There are the support shortcuts to the various features included in DF Client. Screen
Trouble saving your settings? When adding aliases, hotkeys, or triggers, you must first complete the empty sections. Then, press the SAVE button to modify or add the selection. Lastly, press APPLY and you will be prompted to store the settings. Storing the settings means to permanently save the changes you've made. If you choose no, the changes will only be applied to your session and not stored. So, when you close DF Client, the changes will be lost.
Multiple characters? Want different aliases, hotkeys, and triggers for each? Goto session settings and save the settings under a different name. Start up DF Client using the "DF CLient" link and select your session or choose Make Session Shortcut in the menu. Screen
Window doesn't stay the same size? The window size is restored to the original size after you restart DF Client. However, you can change the original size. Screen
Connection problems? What do those errors mean? If you receive a "connection refused" error message, it means either you've lost internet connection, the target machine is down, or you're using the wrong port number. If you receive a "host does not exist" or "host not found" error message, it means either the target machine is down, or your connection is bad and you can't make the connection. In the former case, check that you're using the correct host name, check your connection and try again later. In the latter case, try again. Then, turn off all downloads and uploads, and try again. Reboot your computer, and try again.
Slow connection? Laggy? Try each of these in turn: Turn off downloads and uploads. Make sure those on your network are also turned off. Turn off your router and modem for 10 seconds. Reboot your computer.
