After thinking about this bug (the connection, not the error messages) and 
doing a few experiments I think the problem is that we have these 
connections:

Server (on WinXP)   ------>  Metaserver <--------> Client (on any system)

when it should be

Server (on WinXP) <------>  Metaserver <--------> Client (on any system)

Somehow, the server can send things to the metaserver, but can't recieve 
them.
