Hello George, You may find that your client is, perhaps unintentionally, 'backward compatible' so it tries to handshake with SSLv2 Client Hello with SSLv3 'extensions', as would be expected of a backward compatible client. Have a look at the content of the Client Hello packet. The first couple of bytes will tell you which version Client Hello packet you are dealing with.

When I change to SSLv3_server_method() the connection fails. The client is using SSLv3_client_method(). What would cause this problem?
