[Elecraft] KPA500 in host/server mode - intermittent failures

I am having an issue with the KPA500 software.

It works fine on one PC, but when you use it in client/server mode, which I
do a lot, It randomly fails on the the client PC.  I can see what it is
doing, but no joy for any commands.  It has worked at times.  it is also
not a timeout issue.

The network is both devices on the same subnet plugged into the same switch
with 3ft cables.  Other applications like PSTRotatorAZ work fine when doing
something similar.

The ports and ip addresses are correct.  One other ham friend of mine
reports the same intermittent failure.

Is anyone else using this mode and having similar issues?

ps.  I would include screen shots, but the small image size restriction
makes is hard to do.
