That strongly suggests that the problem occurs when the server host address is not resolvable, possibly due to no DNS, as would be the case on a laptop with no network. I saw the issue just today when I tried to run freecol on a machine that was incorrectly named, as once again the host address could not be found. We need to do better than this, so I will look for a workaround. Cheers, Mike Pope
