It looks like something is going wrong when your OpenSim region simulator tries to register itself with the grid service in OpenSim.Server.exe.  

The fact that you are getting a blank (null) reply rather than a socket error suggests that something is running on that port.  What does OpenSim.Server.exe report, if anything, when you try to connect?  This information is also collected in OpenSim.Server.log
