Connection actively refused on localhost

BeanDog

I'm using the Socket class to connect across a local area network. When I
test the application by running both the client and server on my development
machine, the connection works fine when I try to connect to "127.0.0.1" but
the connection is "actively refused" when I try to connect to
"<computername>", even though I'm putting in my own computer's network id.

Any ideas why this could be? Windows Firewall is not enabled.

Once your server is running have you tried to telnet to the server's port
using the computer name? If that doesn't work, then you have a network issue
(firewall, proxy, etc.). Are you by any chance using the HttpChannel under
IIS? If so, you may have a problem of your IIS being misconfigured.

I can connect with "telnet localhost 31415" but I cannot with "telnet
Referral 31415", even though I'm running the server and telnet both from the
computer Referral. I suppose that if I try to use the UNC name, it goes
through the router and right back to my computer. There is probably a
firewall built into our wireless router, and I'll go look for that.

Thanks.

Before I could get the Socket sample client and server talking over a lan, I
had to set the ,NET Socket Permissions.
Could that be your problem?

HTH,
