    You are right, at this point performance doesn't really matter to me, I just
    want to start working with it. Using the -network switch worked (well,
    -network=upc did not work, but I assumed that upc was a typo for udp). I
    added my self to the CC list on the bug report too. Thanks again for all the
    help!
