I eventually figured out the problem(thanks to Sam Steeper@next).  My  
server wasn't an application, so things weren't getting initialized  
correctly by the program.  The fix was to add the following line to my  
code.
	[NXPort worryAboutPortInvalidation];  
This forks a new thread that waits for the invalidation messages, which  
has fixed the problem.

However I still have a problem with the program, that noone seemed to have  
answered.  Here is the rest of the original post detailing the problem.


When the server dies I would like  
the client to wait 10 minutes and then try to connect again.  Here's what  
I do

-senderIsInvalid:sender
{
	[serverConnection free];
	[self connect:self];
	return self;
}
Unfortunatelly all that seems to happen when I do this is the following  
error in the console.

Oct 23 18:03:46 nextus netmsgserver[60]: netname_main.msg_send fails, kr =  
-102.

So what am I doing wrong now?  I guess the original connection isn't  
getting disconnect for some reason, but I am fresh out of ideas on how to  
make it work.

Thanks in advance.
