Org.jivesoftware.smack.XMPPException $ Incorrect addressing of StreamErrorException

Question

I get the following exception starting a Windows SMACK client: -

Sep 25, 2015 10:24:13 AM org.jivesoftware.smack.AbstractXMPPConnection callConnectionClosedOnErrorListener
WARNING: Connection closed with error
org.jivesoftware.smack.XMPPException$StreamErrorException: improper-addressing You can read more about the meaning of this stream error at http://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc6120.html#streams-error-conditions

A google search for "org.jivesoftware.smack.XMPPException $ StreamErrorException: wrong addressing" gave

https://www.igniterealtime.org/builds/smack/docs/4.1.0/javadoc/index.html?org/jivesoftware/smack/packet/StreamError.html

which says

wrong addressing: a stanza sent between two servers does not have a "to" or "from" attribute

In addition, I could not find information in Google search results on how to fix this problem.
