DM: Thanks for the idea, Paul. I do have it built in. I disabled it,
but the problem persists. Also tried starting Claws with the '--debug'
option, but it didn't give any additional info, only mentioning that it
was trying to connect and then (once the timeout was reached) that the
connection had been canceled. ---Dustin
