Todd,

Good luck in the new position!

A quick hack for one of the problems is below.

I've seen this myself but not had time to look properly. In the  
meantime, this quick hack will allow the VenueClient to start again -  
I don't think it really addresses the underlying problem though -

In the VenueClient.py mentioned in the traceback above, change the line:
	if int(self.preferences.GetPreference(Preferences.MULTICAST)):
to
	if self.preferences.GetPreference(Preferences.MULTICAST):


I suspect the real cause is some incorrect setting in the preferences  
gui.

I've seen this problem too (on Linux) - sometimes not even being able  
to connect to a bridge on the same local network. I'm sorry thats no  
help to you, but does establish that its not just your problem.
