QTcpSocket - Connection Refused Error

[Alegen]

Hello!

I have just started a bit of socket programming and decided to learn it with Qt. Now, what I am trying to do is connect to localhost but every time i get the "Connection Refused" error.

Have also tried it with my firewall turned off but still the same thing. Can anyone tell me some reasons for this?

Thanks in advance

You try to connect what?
Do you have a server process listening on the port you try to connect?
How did you do it?

If you provide a small code snippet, it could help us analyzing your problem...

Sorry... my knowledge of socket programming is so low that (stupidly) I didn`t know there had to be a server listening to the port also... the connection works now, made a fast server to listen to the port and the connections is made...

Thanks for the swift reply. Gonna go read some more on this network programming :(

I suggest looking at these examples: "network examples":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/examples-network.html

The "loopback example":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/network-loopback.html shows how to communicate between server and client on localhost
