Connection refused means you connected to a server (the proxy server) but there was no server listening on the port you used.
Check you have the right host and port number.

Unless it's a type your URL is malformed. You have only one forward slash after the protocol and colon. You've written:

http:/www.yahoo.com/

versus

http://www.yahoo.com/

Of course I meant to use the word typo instead of type. Damn fingers! :->

And TBL admits the double slash was a design mistake

i have the same problem

i want to read from URL ("http://www.yahoo.com/") but everytime i try there comes this Exception:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

i have read that it this tries to do this on port 25
http://www.desknow.com/kb/idx/0/027/article/
but this port is blocked. can i do this on another port or can someone help me?

The article is talking about a product called DeskNow which apparently talks SMTP over port 25. You are talking HTTP which by default goes over port 80. So the article and port 25 have nothing to do with your problem, which is one of the possibilities mentioned above. It works for me in Java so I suggest it's a firewall or proxy problem at your end.

but what should i do, firewall is disabled and is still says that i still can't open a connection.

has anybody a idea what i can do or what i should test?

Check your firewall setting with network administrator. Very possibly because of that.

check the date on what you've just replied to. I really hope they haven't just been sat waiting all that time

Hi ,

Try some intr*A*net URL instead of internet URL like yahoo.com .

This will help you to check whether it is indeed firewall problem or someother problem without talking to ur Network administrator .

Good grief

1st check you data base is up and running.
2nd check firewall
that's the only thing need to worry i believe.

I am having one doubt: can this zombie rack up 1 lakh view, also?

Yes, but not that many posts.

I'm locking this zombie thread.
