Hello everyone! I stumbled accross an error which really causes my some headache as it is hard to determine where it is caused. I encountered two PC-systems, one with linux and one with Windows 2K, which both report the same error on the client-side which looks like the following which is taken from the VenueClient.log of the windows system.

The VenueServer is fine, as other clients can connect. Maybe someone can point me to the right direction. I assume it to be a package version problem under Linux, but have now clue what it is under windows. We tested with a laptop as exchange for the Win2K computer and it worked then. Any help would be great. Michael ------------------ Dipl.-Inf.
