Re: kxchg error

This could also be caused by a nat timeout in between the 'client' and the
server. NAT times out, udp port forwarding back into the client goes away, 
return traffic from the cipe server hits the firewall and the firewall (rightfully)
refuses the connection.

[client]---local lan---->[firewall doing NAT]----public internet--->[cipe server]

Remember udp is stateless and that the firewall is being nice and automagically forwarding
the udp port back to the client for some limited ammount of time.
