Bug report

Description

I was running my code in a loop

While ... with PI.PIServer(server=region) as server: ........

and I would get the error above. I can change the loop to only run the with three times but I still get the error. real kicker is sometimes I will get the error right away if I try to rerun my code for a while. Anyway to make sure I am not still connected to the network?

you could try calling server.connection.Disconnect() manually, although that should execute anyway once the with block ends. However, given the description on the exception I suspect a network configuration error which your IT department should look into..
