“	No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.	”
	— Windows System Errors

A connection to the server was established, but the server responded by rejecting the connection.

Usually, this is because the server is down for maintenance and does not wish to be disturbed.

Note: this is different than Error code = -2, 10060
