Problem running with Serenity on Window 8+

[Nayshlok]

We are running a suite of tests using storyteller and serenity system on a Windows 2012 R2 system. The tests seem to be unable to run and the data I have gathered points to a problem in Fubu Hosting or Serenity. It seems that our site is successfully running, based on logs, but that any attempt to connect results in a

System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

After more digging I was able to turn on Katana's logging and we receive this error consistently

Microsoft.Owin.Host.HttpListener.OwinHttpListener Error: 0 : Accept
System.Net.HttpListenerException (0x80004005): The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request

If there is any configuration we can change on our side to help figure out what is wrong, we can do that. Any help is appreciated.
