In any version of the client since 1.13, including Slarti's and the newer version, I get this error every damn time.

Could not connect to the server: The type initialized for "System.Net.Dns" threw an exception.

I'm running the client and server locally on one PC, since my room is too small to afford 2 PCs. The original 1.13 and 1.9b server worked flawlessly. Yes I have the IP address correct. No I don't have a firewall up, yes I do use a router.

I have .Net 1.1, as well. Gettin frustrated cuz I like all the new features in the new versions. Just sucks I can't use em.
