Does it give an error message? Or output on the console?

Title:
Multiplayer network games are unreachable
Status in “simutrans” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
A multiplayer game served from the Debian/Ubuntu package can only be
reached by clients running the same package. A manually installed
version of Simutrans cannot connect to the game. This locks out
players on other platforms.
Similarly, a game served by a non-package version of simutrans cannot
be reached by the Debian/Ubuntu packaged client. This locks us out of
everyone else's games.
To reproduce this problem using Simutrans 110.0.1 (In the Ubuntu 11.10
repos):
1) Install the simutrans and simutrans-pak64 packages.
2) Manually install the *same* release version and pak64 to a separate directory.
Manual download page: http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=7025.0
3) Start two instances of simutrans server. One each from the package-
install and from the manual-install.
$ simutrans -server 13353
$ manual/simutrans/simutrans -server 13354
4) Try to connect to each server from the package-installed client:
$ simutrans
Connect to game on port 13353 success
Connect to game on port 13354 fail
5) Try to connect to each server from the manually-installed client:
$ manual/simutrans/simutrans
Connect to game on port 13353 fail
Connect to game on port 13354 success
