Greetings,
I see that the FRED server has a hard time parsing xmls that have a namespace prefix. Please confirm that this is invalid xml for your sever (even though it should NOT be):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
  <ns2:command>
    <ns2:login>
      <ns2:clID>XXXXXXXXX</ns2:clID>
      <ns2:pw>XXXXXXXXXXXXXX</ns2:pw>
      <ns2:options>
        <ns2:version>1.0</ns2:version>
        <ns2:lang>en</ns2:lang>
      </ns2:options>
      <ns2:svcs>
        <ns2:svcExtension>
        </ns2:svcExtension>
      </ns2:svcs>
    </ns2:login>
    <ns2:clTRID>001#13-12-07at15:18:17</ns2:clTRID>
  </ns2:command>
</ns2:epp>
