Trying to connect to a service on a port

Our client software connects to a database via a service
through a specified port. Normally when the database
engine is running others (or the local machine) can
connect to the BD through the service.

Today, my machine is not allowing this to happen. If
another machine tries to telnet to my service, they are
denied. If I try to telnet, I am also denied, but with
this additional messege: "no connection could be made
because the target machine actively refused it."

It almost seems like my machine is blocking access to
this port (I have tried a few differnt ones which I know
have worked fine in the past)

Please Help!

Sounds like the same type of problem I am having. Except when it first
happened to me I was developing the Server and the Client. I get the
error "10061: Connection is forcefully rejected". If you have an FTP
server running on the system see if you can ftp to your system (from your
system) in a DOS window. That's one of my problems.

I'm still trying to get mine fixed. Did you by chance just install a MS
Update?
