Hello again,

Sorry for the delay...

And Mark thanks for your response :D.

<< Are you using Windows or Linux on your local machine? >>

I have Windows XP on my machine.

<< If you are using windows, and you do a "ping" for that host name,
what IP
address are you getting as a response?  (an internal local LAN IP
address,
or an external WAN IP address?) >>

If I ping my hostname from server machine I get local ip now
(192.168.0.2) as I've entered this hostname to hosts file mapping with
my local ip. From a client I get WAN IP of the server resolved if I
ping the hostname as usual.

<< Try doing an "ipconfig /flushdns" command (from the command line),
and see
if flushing your local DNS cache entries will help fix the issue. >>

I have tried it but it didnt help. My Client still fails connection
during handshaking stage. But it takes like 5-10 seconds for me to get
the "login package never received by the server" error message so I
believe its again a network issue.

<< It's extremely helpful to others (that follow) if
you can properly document the issues that you are facing (and document
the solutions) and add everything to a nice step-by-step tutorial in
the WIKI pages. >>

I've already documented the stages to setup my server so far. If I can
pass this final problem at handshaking I believe I can write a
detailed documentation.
