The server has the hostname `richtercloud.de` returned by `gethostname`
which I tested in a minimal C program. Afaik this is not a valid
hostname (because of the dot), but I hope that I can keep it because
that's the domain I rented and the only way I can talk to my server via
internet.

Where can I find the Aetey client code? A superficial [google
search](https://www.google.de/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=Aetey+coda&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gfe_rd=cr&ei=p6WHV-XtPJTZ8AfR3K6wAg#)
yields no results.

I could now test the client I used to connect via internet in the LAN of
the cell (same subnet) and it connected without trouble just like the
client running on the server machine. If I shutdown and boot the machine
without network connection (pull the cable) I have the same behaviour of
`ls /coda/[cell]` like when I connect via internet with a running
internet connection. Does that mean that the disconnected mode doesn't
work in my case (an explicit `cfs disconnect` doesn't help)?

I realized that `coda-client` wasn't fully configured by `dpkg` for
unknown reasons before experiencing the above, but completing the
configuration didn't fix any issues. The incomplete configuration might
have caused an corrupted directories, though. I cannot evalute that.

Thanks for you extended and comprehensive support.
