Testing your TCP/IP Setup

If everything looks OK, the next step is to use the PING program to
test your connection (SLiRP users will have to skip this section).
At the DOS prompt, type

PING 10

should be replaced with a know ip#. The list of servers
below would be a good set to test with. An example might be:

PING 204.96.20.10 10

After a brief delay, you should see 10 lines showing a response
from the host including the round trip time for PING's test
packets. If you see the "Timeout" error message, then something is
wrong with your setup; if your PC is unable to ping, kali will
probably not work.

Not quite yet. Be sure to edit your kali.cfg and kchat.cfg files.
Registered users should be sure to include a serial#, key, skey,
realname, email, and other parameters. Something like this:

kali.cfg
--------
Nickname = KingThug (that's me!)
serial = xxxxxxxxxxxx
key = xxxxxxxxxxxx
skey = xxxxxxxxxxxx
realname = Jay Cotton
email = jay@kali.net
other = Call 1-801-565-1443 and order Kali today!
tracker = 206.197.190.20
@world = kali.net
@central = 204.96.20.10
@bob = 128.191.23.34

The lines beginning with the @ sign are server shortcuts. These
lines allow you to type:

KALI @world

and Kali will look in the kali.cfg file for "@world=" and replace
this with the actual ip# or address. You can also type "kali /a"
and Kali will query all the servers on the Kali Tracker and list
the players.

kchat.cfg
---------
Nickname = KingThug
lines = 50

macro1 = I *really* hate macros!
macro2 = This is my second macro!
