[X2go-Dev] Problem with windows x2go client 3.99.0.1

Two things I've had problems with that sound similar:

1) Symantec antivirus on 64-bit Windows 7 seems to interfere with x2go
clients newer than 3.0-13, even if Symantec antivirus is completely
disabled. Try 3.01-13 from
http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/pre-git/ or
uninstall antivirus. Microsoft Security Essentials (free for personal
use) worked with 3.99.0.1 on W7 x64 last time I tried.

2) If the server that you're connecting to also is a client (ClientA
-> ServerA -> ServerB), there could be a port conflict. Default
incoming port 30001 is already in use by an outgoing tunnel on the
same port. Try modifying /usr/bin/x2gostartagent on ServerA and change
the port interval from 30000 to 30200. Do the same on ServerB, but use
30400. Close all existing client sessions to/from the servers in the
chain and try again.

Cheers,
Daniel
