One potential cause of this is your firewall. The handle server requires
ports 2641 and 8000 to be open.

By default the handle system tries to use a UDP connection, and if this
timesout with no response it falls back to TCP.

Double check that you have those ports open for UDP connections.

Thanks,


Stuart
