I'm using CVS here and I cannot reproduce the problem. But INDI's code, 
including that for network, was patched several times recently. A lot of the 
changes were in the client side of KStars, so this explains why an old 
version cannot communicate with the newer patched INDI. 

Try again with two CVS versions and let me know if you still encounter the 
problem.
