At the cost of looking like an idiot, the Bridgeserver it has just started working again...
For whoever has the same issue: Try starting the Bridgeregistry before the Bridgeserver. There is probably some other issue causing the error (since I was trying to get the Registry up before the server most of the day), in which case I'd recommend a nice clean OS install.
