delphi xe socket error 10061

Socket error 10061 in Delphi XE usually indicates that the connection to the target server has been refused. This can occur for several reasons, including:

1. The target server is not running or is not listening on the specified port.
2. The target server is blocking the connection request.
3. The local firewall is blocking the connection request.

To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Verify that the target server is running and is listening on the specified port.
2. Check if there is any firewall software installed on the target server that might be blocking the connection request.
3. Disable the local firewall temporarily to see if it is blocking the connection request.
4. Check if there are any network issues that might be preventing the connection, such as a network outage or router configuration issue.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to consult with your network administrator or seek further assistance from the Delphi community or support team.
