Hi,
   
Thanks for your comments.

Even at first glance i thought that Nat-Traversal is not working 
properly, but it might not be the problem as at both ends have two more 
connections
and they are working fine and in those connection both servers are 
behind NAT box. so there can not be an issue of NAT-Traversal at NATbox.
Any thing i can do for this particular connection as only this 
connection doesn't work with that error.

Thanks & Regards,
Utkarsh Shah
