4.1.	When I start Konversation, I'd like to connect to a server without joining any channels. How do I do that?
	In the Edit Server screen, leave the Channels frame empty.
4.2.	Konversation won't connect to any servers. What is wrong.?
	There are several things that could be wrong. Make sure that you have entered the correct Server name and the correct Port in the Add Server screen. Check the output in the Server Messages screen for any error messages. Did the server reject the connection because of a bad password? Did the server reject the connection because it requires IDENTD and your computer did not respond to the IDENT request? Did you check the SSL protocol box but the server does not support SSL? If you are behind a firewall, make sure the correct ports are enabled. Konversation needs the following ports enabled: Outgoing TCP 6667 (or the port of the server you connect to) Incoming TCP 113 (if the server requires IDENTD) For more information on IRC connection problems, see irchelp.org.
4.3.	When I go to Window->Channel List, I cannot select it. Why is that?
	The Window->Channel List menu entry will be greyed-out if a non-channel tab, e.g. Watched Nicks Online, is currently being viewed. To make it selectable again go back to a channel tab or the server tab.
