Main items

Log to screen
Writes the log to this window. If this is unchecked, nothing is written to the window and no log is kept unless you have turned on "Log to file".
Log to file
Writes the log to a file. When you click this, you are prompted to specify the name of the log file.
Do not log address
Exclude specified IPs. More about IP masks
Address 2 name
Opens the translation table for IP addresses to names. These names will be shown in the log in {}-brackets after the real IP. This is useful if you have users with a fixed IP (for example, in a LAN) and want to show their names.
Font
Lets you choose the font for the log.
Read only
Prevents editing of the log. Normally, leave this checked.
Copy
Copies the whole log, or a selected part, to the clipboard. This is obviously useful when you want to paste log entries into an email or other document.
Clear
Deletes all entries in the log window.
Save
Saves the log to the file specified in 'Log on file'.
Save as
Saves the log and prompts you for the file name.
