huh huh... This is on a LAN right? Rather strange in fact. Would
understand if this happened on the Net, but on a local network, I just
have no idea why things go wrong. Would it be possible for you to:
- tell me what kind of OS you use (Windows or UNIX).
- try to reproduce the bug with the "-netlog" option turned on, and send
  me the corresponding log files (both server and client). If you don't
  know how to do this, you can either read the doc or ask me ;-)

Yep.

OK. The best way for you to be up to date is to download the source from
CVS and compile it. However, there are no new network fixes commited yet, 
so there's no hurry. And anyway, new releases are generally announced on
this list.

Have a nice day,

Christian.
