title: Socket server in python refuses to connect
body: <p>I am trying to create a simple web server with python using the following code.
  However, When I run this code, I face this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>ConnectionRefusedError: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made
    because the target machine actively refused it</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>It worths mentioning that I have already tried some solutions suggesting manipulation of proxy settings in internet options. I have run the code both in the unticked and the confirmed situation of the proxy server and yet cannot resolve the issue.
  Could you please guide me through this ? </p>
  
  <pre><code>import sys
  import socketserver
  import socket
  
  hostname = socket.gethostname()
  print("This is the host name:  " + hostname)
  
  port_number = 60000
  
  soc = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
  soc.connect((hostname,port_number))
  </code></pre>
