Added a bit of debugging that you'll see from the command line as well.

Didn't work.
STDOUT: "Null buffer pointer on Read!"

I had this problem today, it simply would not connect. I then loaded the main library and deleted the library server entry. It immediately reappeared and seems to have been "auto discovered" (never noticed that before). It still wouldn't connect. I deleted it again, it reappeared and then it connected.
I am running 21.0.85 on linux and whatever the current beta is on the (windows) server.
I have since noticed that initiating playback is unusually slow, maybe 10s or so to start playing.

That particular message is not terribly important but thanks for reporting it.
I still can't reproduce this issue.
I've tested connecting from one debian system to another.
From a debian system to a windows system.
With JRemote from an iPad to a debian system.
All with authentication.
All work fine.
BryanC:
I'm using Fedora clients and a Windows server. My remote Fedora machine can connect fine (using 21.0.85 and 21.0.87) to the server. My Fedora laptop on the LAN cannot connect with 21.0.85 and 21.0.87 but can connect with 21.0.83. Both the laptop on the LAN and my machine connecting from the WAN are both running the exact same fully up-to-date versions of Fedora and have been freshly rebooted.

Just to add a datapoint: I can connect with JRemote and gizmo fine; in fact I can access the server's webgizmo in a browser on the affected machines, so it isn't a MCWS or network connectivity issue; it's something about the library server authentication specifically.
I haven't got a non-LAN machine to test with at the moment, but it's interesting that Brian's only seeing LAN issues.
