Connection refused on host computername

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.

The test run stops.


Firewalls

Disable firewalls on both the local computer and the agent computer. Verify that the agent controller is configured correctly.

If you do not want to disable firewalls, you can instead enable a firewall-aware connection.
