When I start dude I also get a command window with dude (2) as title.
It shows me that the server has a time off set.
When I click it away, the dude closes?
What is this?

Offset time usually refers to time differences between the server where the data is stored, and the client that is modifying that data. For instance, if your server is set to UTC/GMT and the client machine is set to CST, then you have an offset of -6. This could lead to problems with file reads if the modified file appears to be created in the future from the clients perspective.
To explain - You create a file on the client side at 1300. The server stores the file at 1900. You attempt to retrieve the file from the client several hours later, say 1900 CST. The server will provide the file, but since its time is now 0100, on the next day, the client may balk, since this file is now “in the future”.
Check your time zone settings, and make if you are using NTP, make sure everything is configured properly.
Hope this helps.

OK, I understand what you say.
but, the PC that runs the Dude client, and from where I log into the dude server (that runs on a MT-box,) has exactly the same time as the MT-box that runs the dude server. And both have their time sync’d from a server.
So, I don´t understand why this dos box pops up?
And in fact, this window only came up after the dude crashed yesterday. Before I never saw the window? Now it always pops up?

Which version are you running?
3beta7
I installed these since 3b7 came in the package that I put on the MT box.

I have server on my mt box too, and connecting from windowsXP PC client. In my beta7 version I’ve never saw that window before. Upgrade to beta8 with MT 3.8 version bring me this frustrating feature 
how did you install dude beta8 when you got that window? from the webpage, or maybe though an upgrade when Dude offers you to get new version?
So, I still don´t know how to get rid of that window…
You can’t, you have to wait until the next version. Somehow you managed to install the Debug version. That’s why I asked HOW you did it. Also you can try to get the b8 from the web again, and reinstall it. Careful with your maps, always make a backup.
The window appears when i’ve done upgrade from ROS3.7 to 3.8, and after connect with mt box with my dude I have to upgrade my dude client on my PC.
When I installed the 3beta7 two weeks ago it worked without that window for about three or four sessions (I’m still trying to figure out another problem, see my other tread).
But then the 3rd of 4rd session the dude crashed. It came up with an window stating that a command to memory address bla bla etc couldn’t be performed and dude had to be closed.
By clicking OK on that window the dude closed. The next startup the window with the server time offsett message appaered.
