Hello, I am trying to connect to a server and pull tag values from that. The issue that we are running into is that it keeps connecting and disconnecting. Below is a image of my log file. All settings are what the defaults are. Please let know if there is more information I can provide to help. Thank you

It just looks like that server is closing the connection for some reason.

If you can get a Wireshark capture there might be more info that can be sussed out, or might just be a confirmation.
