Connection refused on host computername
Explanation
The agent controller can be configured to restrict
playback to the local computer only. If the agent controller on an
agent computer is configured for local playback only, it will not
accept connections from other agent controllers. This error message
might display if firewalls are active on the local computer or the
agent computer.
System action
The test run stops.
User response
Disable firewalls on both the local computer and
the agent computer. Make sure that the agent controller is configured
correctly.
If you do not want to disable firewalls, you can instead enable a
firewall-aware connection. For more information on enabling a firewall-aware
connection, see Running with a workbench behind a firewall.
