The current is 2.10.3p1, like you put at the bottom.

You really should atleast put a . in the name of the server.  It
will probably work without, but I strongly suggest putting one in
it.  You really want it to be FQDN, that resolvs to the ip.

You do not need to fill in all the fields. If you don't, you just
get an empty reply.

right, the second field isn't use for anything.  Using:
P:10.18.10.109::10.18.10.*:6667:, is fine too, you don't need to
put a '*' there.

Also, using 255.255.255.0 is not the way, you need to mask the
ip like shown.
