This can happen if you have a version mismatch.  A V1 server cannot
accept a V2 connection and will reset.  A V2 server will attempt to
downgrade to V1, but if you force it to only answer V2 (a good idea
BTW), the same will happen.  It will also happen if the server isn't
completely up and loaded.  My radios do this when I reboot them and
try to reconnect as soon as I can ping them.  The first connection
will often reset.
