Why am I getting the error “connection refused” in Python? (Sockets)

Question

I\'m new to Sockets, please excuse my complete lack of understanding.

I have a server script(server.py):

#!/usr/bin/python

import socket #import t         


        

Answer 1

I was being able to ping my connection but was STILL getting the 'connection refused' error. Turns out I was pinging myself! That's what the problem was.
