Setting up namecoin

I'm having some trouble getting my self-compiled namecoind to connect to the network / get the blockchain.

Right after starting it up it does not get any connection, instead tries to connect to some nodes on port 36384??

So I gave it a node manually:

addnode=69.164.206.88:8334

now it connects quickly, gets tons of nodes and has 8 connections, but does not download the blockchain.
debug.log says:

ERROR: CheckProofOfWork() : block does not have our chain ID

ERROR: ProcessBlock() : CheckBlock FAILED

tons of these.

Any ideas??
