Bug#740356: Pokerth cannot connect to internet servers

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

Package: pokerth
Version: 1.1.1-2
Severity: important

While it doesn't seriously hinder the functionality of the game, but
hey,, who'd play poker if no humans were involved.

Since the new 1.1 release (which should be a couple of weeks by now), never have I been able to connect to pokerth.net. The
error pop-up I get is "Could not connect to server".

I've verified to ensure that the DNS is working.

There's also a possibility that it is a (temporary) problem with the
pokerth servers. But wanted to check here first.


Apologies for this bug report if nobody else has encountered this
problem
