This is typically caused by including a port number in the C:line for Services, which tells your server to try to autoconnect to it (depending on the class (Y:line) settings). This is not what you want, because Services will connect to the server itself, but does not listen for servers to connect to it. The solution is to remove the port number from the C:line.
