What does the error message “no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it” mean in computer networking?
hey! so this error message usually means that the device u are trying to connect to isn’t accepting connections. this might be because the destination machine is turned off or not operating properly, or the app/service u’re trying to connect to isn’t running or perhaps a firewall is actively blocking your connection. it’s like if someone rejects or doesn’t pick up a phone call from you, hope this helps buddy! 🙂
This error typically means that the server you’re trying to connect to is not accepting connections on the port number you’re attempting to use. This could be due to the server not running, the server not having the correct port opened, or a firewall blocking the connection.
