The server side of my attempt to establish a TCP connection goes smoothly, however when I run the client software (from the client computer), I receive the following error:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(PlainSocketImpl.java:351)
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(PlainSocketImpl.java:213)

at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(SocksSocketImpl.java:432)

at java.net.Socket.<init>(Socket.java:375)
at java.net.Socket.<init>(Socket.java:189)
at TCPClient.main(TCPClient.java:13)
Can somebody tell me what is generating this issue and how to repair it? I tried changing the socket number in case it was already in use, but to no effect.
Server code:
//TCPServer.java
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
class TCPServer {
public static void main(String argv[]) throws Exception {
String fromclient;
String toclient;
ServerSocket Server = new ServerSocket(5000);
System.out.println("TCPServer Waiting for client on port 5000");
while (true) {
Socket connected = Server.accept();
System.out.println(" THE CLIENT" + " " + connected.getInetAddress()
+ ":" + connected.getPort() + " IS CONNECTED ");
BufferedReader inFromUser = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(System.in));
BufferedReader inFromClient = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(connected.getInputStream()));
PrintWriter outToClient = new PrintWriter(
connected.getOutputStream(), true);
while (true) {
System.out.println("SEND(Type Q or q to Quit):");
toclient = inFromUser.readLine();
if (toclient.equals("q") || toclient.equals("Q")) {
outToClient.println(toclient);
connected.close();
break;
} else {
outToClient.println(toclient);
}
fromclient = inFromClient.readLine();
if (fromclient.equals("q") || fromclient.equals("Q")) {
connected.close();
break;
} else {
System.out.println("RECIEVED:" + fromclient);
}
}
}
}
}
The Client Code:
//TCPClient.java
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
class TCPClient {
public static void main(String argv[]) throws Exception {
String FromServer;
String ToServer;
Socket clientSocket = new Socket("localhost", 5000);
BufferedReader inFromUser = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
System.in));
PrintWriter outToServer = new PrintWriter(
clientSocket.getOutputStream(), true);
BufferedReader inFromServer = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
clientSocket.getInputStream()));
while (true) {
FromServer = inFromServer.readLine();
if (FromServer.equals("q") || FromServer.equals("Q")) {
clientSocket.close();
break;
} else {
System.out.println("RECIEVED:" + FromServer);
System.out.println("SEND(Type Q or q to Quit):");
ToServer = inFromUser.readLine();
if (ToServer.equals("Q") || ToServer.equals("q")) {
outToServer.println(ToServer);
clientSocket.close();
break;
} else {
outToServer.println(ToServer);
}
}
}
}
}
