No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:3446

by

“Actively refused it” means that the host sent a reset instead of an ack when you tried to connect. It is therefore not a problem in your code. Either there is a firewall blocking the connection or the process that is hosting the service is not listening on that port. This may be because it is not running at all or because it is listening on a different port.

Once you start the process hosting your service, try netstat -anb (requires admin privileges) to verify that it is running and listening on the expected port.

update: On Linux you may need to do netstat -anp instead.
