"unable to connect to remote server"

Help & Support
1

I started getting this error yesterday, and I’m not sure what is causing it. I did reinstall utorrent and eMule, but I’m not sure how that would cause this to happen.

Here’s error log for RestSharpExtensions

System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:23993
   at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.DoConnect(EndPoint endPointSnapshot, SocketAddress socketAddress)
   at System.Net.ServicePoint.ConnectSocketInternal(Boolean connectFailure, Socket s4, Socket s6, Socket& socket, IPAddress& address, ConnectSocketState state, IAsyncResult asyncResult, Exception& exception)
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
   at RestSharp.Http.GetRawResponse(HttpWebRequest request)
   at RestSharp.Http.GetResponse(HttpWebRequest request)

And here’s the error

System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:23993

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Looks like malware or another virus has created a proxy on your system (unless one was created by you). You may be able to clean it up with a malware scanner, but most people have had limited success with that.

Thanks! Do you think that add virtual servers (per eMule) in my router do this?

Thanks. Thought it’s odd that the 127 proxy doesn’t appear in my Internet Options, and the sites that claim to tell me if I’m using a proxy say I’m not. Argh.

No, its something on your system, the request isn’t even making it to your router.

Ah. Thanks!
