Have you tried using the actual ip address instead of the dns? Maybe just maybe there is some reversal issues with the handshake. It seems like its sending a request for a handshake but maybe sending the wrong information about where to make the handshake. I had the same issue when I had used 127.0.0.1 and tried to connect with a remote machine. That's what makes me think maybe its a reversal issue. Not sure how possible it is for 1 part of a program to have issues reversing a domain but not the other but its worth a shot I think.
