Python, Connectin Refused 10061

Question

I keep getting this error

[Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

I\'m running

Answer 1

Taking a guess at your indentation, and running your code… it works just fine.* (As long as I type in 127.0.0.1 when it asks me for the IP.)

Of course the second time I run the client (if I haven't restarted the server) I get a connection-refused error. But that's just because you've coded a server that immediately quits as soon as it gets the first connection. So the second time you run the client, there is no server, so the OS rejects the connection.

You can always run the server again, which lets you run the client one more time. (Except that the server may get a 10048 error when it tries to bind the socket, because the OS is keeping it around for the previous owner. If you see that, look at SO_REUSEADDR in the docs.)

* By "works just fine" I mean that it connects, and prints out the following before quitting:

Socket created
127.0.0.1
8934
You are connected to 127.0.0.1 with IP adress of 127.0.0.1

Obviously it never sends anything to the server or receives anything back, because the server has no send or recv calls, or anything else.
