0.8.5 may have had problems with checksums on UDP packets - eg they were
completely broken.

Could that have been DNS related?

That''s strange. The latest version fixes a lot of these problems.
I''ll
be doing a binary release in the next 12 hours or so with any luck.

A simple connect won''t tell you anything unless you move some data.
What
happens if you type the following in to a telnet to port 80:
"
GET / HTTP/1.1

"

Either way, probably best to check out the latest source and compile it
yourself, or just wait for the next binary release.
