I have this exact behaviour if I accidentally try to launch MLDonkey two 
times. This happens when I kill the core with kill <pid>> and it does 
not shutdown properly but stay hanging. When I do not notice this and 
relaunch the core (actually starting it a second time), I can connect to 
this new core, but it is unable to connect to the donkey network.

I cannot fully explain this behaviour but a "killall -9 mldonkey" (don't 
do this on a System V Derivate as killall works quite differently there 
;-) ) and restarting it cures the problem for me (and kills the old, 
hanging core, too).
