Testrunner Error - java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

I have a SOAPUI project that completes succesfully when run in the UI. However when I run same project using the command line (testrunner.bat) it fails. The error is "java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out". The failure happens after the first two tests complete succesfully.

The test runner is being executed via a Jenkins project.

Any idea's or solutions on why this is occurring would be appreciated.

Below is the output
