Server returning a -625 Bad Connection to valid connections.

• Dsrepair's Timesync and Report Synchronization Status display -625 errors to the problem server even though the server can be pinged or telnetted to port 524.
• Netware servers in the same ring may show constant lost communication / established communication messages to problem server.
• The server displaying the -625 messages will display BADCONN messages or -4999 error messages:
