Initial connection problems

[Thomas Schaaf]

Hello Christian,

Sadly the suggested solution does not work. ( I altered your command
to reflect the correct IP so that is not the problem either. )
What I have discovered though is that I can even change the ip address
and am still able to connect successfully - after the first successful
connect.
