Hi Antonio, and glad to hear from you!

I completely agree with you.  Unfortunately, I do not (yet) have enough 
knowledge in NAT and network access.  Moreover, we need to know 
*precisely* what the error each person has, in order to either fix the 
error, or add a string explaining the error to the user.

Finally, the urgent thing right now is to make a new unstable release, 
so the regressions compared to the stable release are priority (in my 
opinion, it is what I work on).
