It should be working in the current release (the original RC from 
July 12).

That is odd. Why can't it connect to the Hobbit server? It uses the same
method of connecting for the client update as it does when sending in 
the client data.

Any signs in the server logs of hobbitd crashing? If yes, do apply the
current "allinone.patch" to the server and retry this.

What does your client-local.cfg file have for this client, and what
files do you have in the ~hobbit/download/ directory?
