Can't read Hail Message

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1: 
on Client:
          client.Start();
            NetOutgoingMessage hail = client.CreateMessage();
            hail.Write("Message");
            client.Connect(host, port, hail);

2:  
on Server:
   case NetIncomingMessageType.StatusChanged:
       msg.ReadByte(); // not used for now
       Console.WriteLine(msg.ReadString()); //this gives some debug info like "Initiated average roundtrip time to 6,96 ms Remote time is: 1,89029809832573"
       break;

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I don't understand, how to receive this Hail message from client.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Gen3, XP

Please provide any additional information below.

The message is available as msg.SenderConnection.RemoteHailMessage. You need to 
check if it's not null. So youl could something like this:

if(msg.SenderConnection.RemoteHailMessage != null)
{
  Console.WriteLine( msg.SenderConnection.RemoteHailMessage.ReadString() );
}

I'm sorry for replying on this old topic. But when I receive the hail message 
on the server side, I'm getting this error: Index was outside the bounds of the 
array on the class NetBitWriter.

Check out the Chat sample; it uses the hail message mechanism. Basically you 
need to do:

case NetIncomingMessageType.StatusChanged:
    NetConnectionStatus status = (NetConnectionStatus)im.ReadByte();
    string reason = im.ReadString();

    if (status == NetConnectionStatus.Connected)
        Console.WriteLine("Remote hail: " + im.SenderConnection.RemoteHailMessage.ReadString());
    break;
