Dark_samurai, I've used your testapplication and it still crashes to client on connection, just a second after i'm trying to connect. There seems to be no timeout or similar.
I only changed the adress to connect to. Mine is a bit longer, its 20 characters long, could that be of any problem? I'm using no-ip.com and it works for other games and stuff.
I'm using 3DGS 7.86.2 and ANet 1.3.2.0.
