Server Cannot Connect to Printer but Host Can

Before I explain my problem, here is my setup:
Windows 8.1 computer 
Repetier Host 1.0.6
Repetier Server 0.50.3
PrintrBot Jr v1 
PrintrBoard rev D with Marlin Firmware
The printer registers as COM3 on the computer and when I'm using Repetier-Host, I'm able to connect to the printer just fine; I'm able to control it manually, do prints, etc. But when I try to use Repetier-Server using the same COM port, baud rate, etc., the Server website only shows a orange colored connected image. I realize I have to disconnect / close Host when I try to use Server and have the printer deactivated on Server when using Host; that doesn't seem to be the issue.

I've tried finding a log file somewhere for Repetier-Server but I can't seem to find one.

Here is an image of the Repetier-Host printer config (you'll notice the green connected image in the top left as well)

Here is an image of the Repetier-Server printer config

And here is an image of the status once I activate the printer on Repetier-Server

For what it's worth, I have a Raspberry Pi with OctoPrint on it that has been working with this printer for over a year without problems. It had the same baud rate, 250000, on it as well.

Any suggestions or ideas on how to fix this?

    The images seem to have problems showing even though I added them as a hyperlink, not an image... oh well. Here is a link to the DropBox folder I have them in: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kvnaijw4qbvjoap/AABwZFe3opLdasOz8IyZT-pAa?dl=0

    Ok, that was a hard one. Reason is again the missing reset so a special condition was never fullfilled. In my develop version I have solved it, so next release should also connect to printrboard with marlin.

    Any news on when this version is coming out?

    That issue is already solved for years.
