Target machine refused the connection (dns caching again?)

v1.9.9 in use here. Search was working yesterday evening, today it isn't - getting a message saying the target machine refused the connection.

It's working here for me (I checked earlier but bassie had already said it worked for him also so I didn't reply).

I did notice my firewall pop up for a confirmation (on ports 2020 and 2022) so check yours in case it's being blocked.

the server was up continuously, i restarted it last time after full backup 300 hours ago.

try to ensure it is not firewall.

i've checked now the last server ip address change - most likely your firewall has dns caching enabled, try to disable it for UE or at least for *.dyndns.org wildcard addresses. or just reset the dns cache but the server ip is not guarantied to be static and so it may change sometimes.

i see here the dynamic address was updated some time yesterday, i'm not sure it is because of ip change or it is monthly refresh, if the former and you have dns caching somewhere it is the reason then.

the same issue had been mentioned already in the search service section, i'll move the thread there - where it belongs - later as well.
