[Tutor] Socket connection refused

[Nick Lunt]

As your python progams are fine it may be worth looking at your windows
event viewer to see if that sheds any light on the problem, particularly
the security section (if I'm remembering windows correctly).

Also start the server from the command line and type 'telnet localhost
50007' and see what happens.

Good luck, but if you still have no luck then I'm afraid there's not
much more I can do, I'm duff at windows stuff ;)

But post your results back here anyway cos I'm sure there's plenty on
this list who know enough about windows to get you sorted.

Cheers
Nick.
