java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
I’m trying to implement a TCP connection, everything works fine from the server’s side but when I run the client program (from client computer) I get the following error:
I tried changing the socket number in case it was in use but to no avail, does anyone know what is causing this error & how to fix it.

This exception means that there is no service listening on the IP/port you are trying to connect to:
- You are trying to connect to the wrong IP/Host or port.
- You have not started your server.
- Your server is not listening for connections.
- On Windows servers, the listen backlog queue is full.
- Host name and port you’re trying to connect to
- The server side has managed to start listening correctly
- There’s no firewall blocking the connection
The simplest starting point is probably to try to connect manually from the client machine using telnet or Putty. If that succeeds, then the problem is in your client code. If it doesn’t, you need to work out why it hasn’t. Wireshark may help you on this front.
I had the same problem, but running the Server before running the Client fixed it.
You have to connect your client socket to the remote ServerSocket. Instead of
Socket clientSocket = new Socket(«localhost», 5000);
Socket clientSocket = new Socket(serverName, 5000);
The client must connect to serverName which should match the name or IP of the box on which your ServerSocket was instantiated (the name must be reachable from the client machine). BTW: It’s not the name that is important, it’s all about IP addresses.
I had the same problem with Mqtt broker called vernemq.but solved it by adding the following.
- $ sudo vmq-admin listener show
to show the list o allowed ips and ports for vernemq
- $ sudo vmq-admin listener start port=1885 -a 0.0.0.0 —mountpoint /appname —nr_of_acceptors=10 —max_connections=20000
to add any ip and your new port. now u should be able to connect without any problem.
Hope it solves your problem.
One point that I would like to add to the answers above is my experience—
«I hosted on my server on localhost and was trying to connect to it through an android emulator by specifying proper URL like http://localhost/my_api/login.php . And I was getting connection refused error«
Point to note — When I just went to browser on the PC and use the same URL ( http://localhost/my_api/login.php ) I was getting correct response
so the Problem in my case was the term localhost which I replaced with the IP for my server (as your server is hosted on your machine) which made it reachable from my emulator on the same PC.
To get IP for your local machine, you can use ipconfig command on cmd you will get IPv4 something like 192.68.xx.yy Voila ..that’s your machine’s IP where you have your server hosted. use it then instead of localhost
Note — you won’t be able to reach this private IP from any node outside this computer. (In case you need ,you can use Ngnix for that)
Java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: no further information — Решение
При попытке подключения к серверу «Майнкрафт» пользователь может столкнуться с сообщением «Java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: no further information». Появление данного сообщения обычно сигнализирует о возникновении различного рода сетевых проблем при получении доступа к игровому серверу, из-за чего желание пользователя насладиться игровыми мирами «Майнкрафт» остаётся нереализованным. Ниже я разберу суть данной дисфункции, опишу её причины, а также поясню, как исправить ошибку Java.net.ConnEctexception на вашем ПК.
Месседж о возникшей ошибке
Connection timed out: no further information – особенности дисфункции
В переводе текст данного сообщения звучит примерно как «Сетевой сбой Java. Время соединения истекло: дальнейшая информация отсутствует».
Указанная ошибка Java.net.ConnectException обычно возникает во время подключения к серверу игры «Майнкрафт», но также фиксировались спорадические случаи появления данной ошибки при работе других продуктов, использующих «Java» (к примеру, на «Azure notification hub»).
Появление проблемы «Java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: no further information» имеет следующие причины:
- Пользователь использует нестабильное сетевое соединение с медленным интернетом;
- На ПК пользователя установлена устаревшая версия «Java»;
- Пользователь пользуется устаревшей версией «Майнкрафт»;
- Наблюдаются сбои в работе игрового сервера, к которому пробует подключиться пользователь (ресурс не доступен, проходят технические работы и др.);
- Антивирус или брандмауэр блокирует подключения к игровому серверу;
- Пользователь использует динамический IP;
- Пользовательский роутер работает некорректно.
Как исправить «Java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out»
Существуют несколько способов избавиться от ошибки Java.net.ConnectException. Рассмотрим их по порядку:
- Перезагрузите ваш PC. В некоторых случаях данный простой метод позволял решить ошибку java.net.connectexception connection refused;
- Установите на ПК свежую версию «Java». Довольно частой причиной рассматриваемой проблемы является устаревшая версия «Java» на пользовательском ПК. Перейдите в Панель управления, затем в «Программы», там найдите «Java» и кликните на неё. После появления окна её настроек перейдите на вкладку «Update», нажмите там на кнопку «Update Now», и установите в системе требуемые обновления.
Данную процедуру необходимо провести как на вашей машине, так и на машине того пользователя, с которым вы собираетесь играть в «Майнкрафт» по сети;
Обновите вашу версию «Ява»
- Внесите «Майнкрафт» в исключения брандмауэра и антивируса на вашем ПК. Запустите Панель управления, перейдите в «Система и безопасность», там найдите «Брандмауэр Виндовс» и кликните на него. В открывшемся окне настроек брандмауэра слева сверху выберите опцию «Разрешения взаимодействия…».
В открывшемся окне разрешённых для внешнего подключения программ найдите программы с упоминанием «Java», и поставьте им галочки для разрешения подключения (поможет кнопка «Изменить параметры»). Нажимаем на «Ок» для сохранения результата, перезагружаемся и пробуем подключиться к серверу. С антивирусом необходимо проделать аналогичные операции, внеся «Java» и «Майнкрафт» в его исключения;
Установите самую свежую версию программы
java.net.ConnectException – How to solve Connect Exception
In this example we are going to discuss about one of the most common exceptions you will come across when dealing with network programming in Java: ConnectException . ConnectException is a subclass of SocketException , and that alone reveals that it is meant to inform you about an error that occurred when you tried to create or access a socket. To be more specific, ConnectException is an exception that you will see in the client side of your application and it can emerge when a client fails to create a connection with a remote server socket.
1. A simple Client-Server program
Here is a very simple Client-Server program. It creates two threads. The first one, SimpleServer , opens a socket on the local machine on port 3333 . Then it waits for a connection to come in. When it finally receives a connection, it creates an input stream out of it, and simply reads one line of text from the client that was connected. The second thread, SimpleClient , attempts to connect to the server socket that SimpleServer opened. When it does so, it sends a line of text and that’s it.
As you can see, because I’m launching the two threads simultaneously, I’ve put a 3 second delay in SimpleClient for the client to wait before attempting to connect to the server socket, so as to give some time to server thread to open the server socket.
If you run the above program, after 3 seconds you will see something like this :
That means that the client, successfully connected to the server and achieved to transmit its text.
2. Simple cases of ConnectException
What happens if the client attempts to connect to localhost , not in port 3333 that the server listens, but instead in port 1234 . To test that I will simply change line:
And run the program again.After 3 seconds, here’s what happens:
So there, immediately, you have one occasion that can trigger a java.net.ConnectException . The reason is that you, obviously trying to access a port on localhost that is not open.
Other examples that also trigger a java.net.ConnectException follow the same pattern more or less: You are attempting to make a connection on a remote socket and that connection is refused. The reason it’s refused can vary. In the above example, I’m trying to access a port on the local machine that simply doesn’t exist.
Same thing happens:
If you want to try this make sure, you put a valid existing IP address (or else you will get an UnknownHostException ). But the point is that again, we are trying to connect to a specific server to a specific port, but that port doesn’t exist of the server.
Another trivial example is to simply not start the server thread and just let the client run. You can change the IP and port values in the client to be in the “correct” configuration : socket = new Socket(«localhost», 3333); .
But don’t start the server thread:
The same thing happens:
In this case the server was not running at all, even though the client used the correct configuration.

java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect , is pretty general error. Real error is always behind, I suggest looking top level error and caused by clause. This will give you more ideas. In simple words, this error just says that your client and server is not able to connect, but doesn’t tell anything about why connection is not happening. There could be thousands of reason of a client and server not connecting including environment issues, host settings, network settings and application settings itself.

google «setting java options -D ipv4=true»
Please check for the port number as its already in use by another application , if yes, kill that process and restart the server.like
go to command prompt—>type netstat -ano | find «port number»
you will find list of applications using your port number.. then just type
taskkill /pid «pid of port no» /f
restart server then it should work..

Hello
I am getting java.net.SocketException: Network is down: listen failed exception
what may be the reason?
Hostname maps to multiple IP addresses and one of the IP address is down. Some network libraries automatically try a connection to second server while others need to have code in the application. nslookup hostname. $telnet hostname 25 needs to be replaced with $telnet ip-address 25

An important point to note is that if you are using alias e.g. DNS to connect to database or servers then you must remember that JVM can cache DNS value to avoid looking up again and again when a connection needs to be made. This is all ok and improves performance but also risky in the even to fail-over when DNS points to another server. There is a JVM option to configure this behavior e.g. how long to cache, cache or not etc, worth looking.
