forgive me for bumping this but i guess i have a question since no one has any ideas..
There is absolutely no documentation, Is this suppose to go somewhere special?
I unzip, run config.exe, set up my ip, port, login and pw, then run client.exe....then i get my exception.
Am I missing something obvious?
