There are several gnuserve packages. Please use the latest from EmacsW32
(http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html) or Guy Gascoigne-Piggford
website.

There is a name clash between the package server.el and gnuserv.el in
the old packages.

I downloaded the whole package Emacs-22-CvsP060314-EmacsW32-1.00.exe from your link above.

But the problem seems to be the same. The problem happens if I open a file with gnuclientw,

then e.g. browse through directories for a while, then open another file with gnuclientw and

the old emacs windows pops up but does not load the second file.

The new thing with this version is that after closing the emacs window, I get the message:

 

unable to read the reply from the server
WSAGetLastError=10054

It doesn't seem to be a firewall problem though since I also tried it with the firewall switched off.
