I am getting the following error message, when I try to execute the Client.py script using the command Python3.7 Client.py

ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 61] Connection refused

I tried to change the gethostname with 127.0.0.1, but it did not work.

Bellow are my scripts for Client.py and Server.py

Client.py

import socket

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

s.connect((socket.gethostname(),1234))

msg = s.recv(1024)

print(msg.decode("utf-8"))

Server.py

import socket

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

s.bind((socket.gethostname(),1234))


s.listen(5)

while True:
   clientsocket,address = s.accept()

   print(f"Connection from {address} has been established")

   clientsocket.send(bytes("Hello","utf-8"))

Could you just try another port? Maybe another process is already using this port. See [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29093568/getting-socket-error-errno-61-connection-refused-python-paramiko) Your code worked flawlessly here. – Victor Hugo Borges May 27 '19 at 20:27
Im still receiving this error even if i change the port number – Omar May 27 '19 at 20:34
Try restarting your pc. Tried on my linux and windows, both worked. – Victor Hugo Borges May 27 '19 at 20:39
let me try again – Omar May 27 '19 at 20:42
Just restarted my computer im still getting this error do i need switch 1234 port to something else – Omar May 27 '19 at 20:55
Well, if you still getting this error after changing the 1234 port and even restarting your pc, there must be something with your firewall or something like that. I don't think I can help too much. – Victor Hugo Borges May 27 '19 at 20:57
weird its working now restarted my terminal on my mac and suddenly that fixed it – Omar May 27 '19 at 21:13
Cool! That must have been an open process. – Victor Hugo Borges May 27 '19 at 21:15
