Hmmm, 6443 != 6433 (typo?) and 32785 != 6442 (config problem). Yes,
netpoll will ignore incoming UDP -from- the wrong port/ip/mac, since
it's otherwise bypassing the firewall layer. And of course, it won't
accept packets -to- the wrong address either. I forget how to deal
with the source address issue in connection with GDB, perhaps Jason
will remind us.
