Menu Chat
Info Fetches the information record of the selected chat participant. Note that the information is not verified, i.e. you get whatever the other chat participant is sending...
handle    : cmu[205.230.75.212]
name      : Christoph Mueller
e-mail/URL: nospam@bigfoot.com / http://www.bigfoot.com/~cmu/
location  : Palo Alto, CA
time      : Thursday, 01-Jan-98 00:00.00
comment   : get the newest DynamIP from http://www.bigfoot.com/~DynamIP/
version   : DynamIP v3.50              
Hail Pages the selected chat participant (depending on the receiver's settings a sound/notification event is generated). If this request is delivered successfully you will receive a confirmation.
Private Chat In normal chat mode everything is always broadcast to all the members of your chat list. Once you're in private chat mode, your messages are only sent to the selected chat participant.
Scan IP Scans the IP address that is currently available in the chat input field.
Send Message You can send a message to a particular chat participant. Depending on the receiver's settings a sound/notification event is generated). If the message is delivered successfully you will receive a confirmation.
Share Chatlist This sends the relevant pieces of information to the selected chat participant so that he/she can establish a connection with all your chat list members (note that - in contrast to IRC - IPchat does not rely on a universally visible server; IPchat is point to point and it is quite unlikely that any member of your chat list sees all the chat participants you're communicating with).
Call w/ NetMeeting Establishes a direct connection between you and the selected chat participant using MS NetMeeting (this works obviously only if both you and the selected chat participant have installed a copy of MS NetMeeting; furthermore, the extension CNF must be associated with NetMeeting [you might have to reinstall NetMeeting if you lost or deleted this association]).
Send E-mail If the selected chat participant has a valid e-mail entry in his profile DynamIP starts your default e-mail client and creates a new message addressed to the selected chat participant.
   
Load Home Page If the selected chat participant has a valid URL entry in his profile DynamIP starts your default web browser and loads that URL.
Load Dynamic Home Page If the selected chat participant is running a web server DynamIP starts your default web browser and loads the default page of that particular web server (note that the letter "W" must be visible behind the IP address of the selected chat participant for this to work; otherwise, DynamIP starts the HTTPscanner and determines the presence of a web server).
Remove The selected chat participant is removed from your chat list and is not allowed to rejoin, at least until you flush your chat list. Note that this exclusion is only temporary and specific to the particular IP address. The IP address is not written to the IPDB file.
Chatlist
Rescan IP Resets the chat engine and rescans all your current chat participants and the IP address ranges as specified in your IPDB file.
Flush Chatlist Resets the chat engine and reinitializes your chat list. This might be a useful command if your chat engine gets tangled up (e.g. your own handle/IP has dropped out of your chat list).
Distribute Chatlist Shares your chat list with all your chat participants (see also Share Chatlist).
Add to IPDB Adds all current chat participants to the IPDB file. If a participant's IP address falls in a range that is already being scanned then this particular participant is not added.
Scanner Scans all your current chat participants and determines who is running a web server. "W" is added behind those IP addresses with web servers.
Load Server Page DynamIP starts your default web browser and loads your Local Server page (which contains the results of a previous HTTPscan).
Sleep Toggles SLEEP mode (all your chat participants are informed accordingly). In SLEEP mode, DynamIP does not accept NetMeeting requests.
IPchat OFF Shuts down the IPchat engine.
