Subject: agsXMPP.Net.ConnectTimeoutException and out of ideas for debugging
Dear agsXMPP support and all agsXMPP users,

I have a strange problem with one of my customers and I am trying to debug it.
The customer was getting the following exception.

[14:41:47.752 D] [Sharp Messenger DE] Messaging error 'agsXMPP.Net.Dns.NoResponseException: Systemfehler
   bei agsXMPP.Net.Dns.Resolver.UdpTransfer(IPEndPoint server, Byte[] requestMessage)
   bei agsXMPP.Net.Dns.Resolver.Lookup(Request request, IPAddress dnsServer)
   bei agsXMPP.Net.Dns.Resolver.SRVLookup(String domain, IPAddress dnsServer)
   bei agsXMPP.XmppClientConnection.ResolveSrv()'.

I am using agsXMPP with already built in IPv6 support but the exception was coming until my client disabled IPv6 on his Windows 7 machine. Now he is getting the following exception.

[16:09:50.591 D] [Sharp Messenger] Messaging socket error 'agsXMPP.Net.ConnectTimeoutException: Attempt to connect timed out'. Firewall blocking port 5222?

We were trying do disable the firewalls (Windows and his router) and Windows Security Essentials but nothing works. He is able to execute telnet xmpp.l.google.com for port 5222 and to do a nslookup on google.de and google.com.

The last ipconfig /all output is as follows.

C:\Windows\system32>ipconfig /all

I think that DNS lookups may still be failing because I am logging the server and it seems to be null the whole time.

[16:40:23.083 D] [Sharp Messenger] Server is '', port is '5222'.

Any ideas what to do next in order to debug it?

looks like there is an exception in the DNS resolver when agsXMPP tries to lookup the SRV records for your XMPP domain.
SRV lookups are DNS queries on UDP.

Yes, that's correct. However I have no idea how to support the customer in solving that.
Why is the SRV lookup failing if the customer is able to execute nslookup?
What would be next steps to debug it? Any idea?

the SRV lookups are required in XMPP for resolving the correct hostname of the XMPP server.
Right now I have no idea, such an issue came not up before. This is something we would have to debug.

when your service is not using SRV records you can try to disable SRV resolving (m_AutoResolveConnectServer = false).

Well actually I would like to keep SRV resolving. My customers are connecting to Google Talk servers.
How would you debug the issue?

I can only debug only problems which I can reproduce on my machine.

Well it's impossible to replicate customers environment to you so that would mean I am lost/on my own ;)
