Webservice SocketException - Only Breaks On One Application - c#

I have a few applications which use a single Web Service which resides on the same server as the applications.
Why would only one of the applications have a problem connecting to a web service? And is there a way I can better diagnose exactly what the problem is with the connection?
It won't even connect to a web service the application itself is hosting
I have tried running it from my local machine and it works fine (updated the web ref url and the connection string to point to the liver server), which should rule out that the code itself is the problem.
I have tried setting up a different virtual directory to point to the application; and later copying the entrie app to another location on the same server and setting it up there. No luck.

Found it... the proxy was the cause of the issue and it is the only application where I specify proxy different from the default:
Since I only need the proxy locally I disabled it on the live web.config with enabled="false"
<defaultProxy enabled="false">
<proxy
autoDetect="False"
bypassonlocal="True"
scriptLocation="http://www.proxy.something"
proxyaddress="http://proxy.com" />
</defaultProxy>

selenium server Unable to connect to the remote

I am trying to start remote driver in selenium using the following code
at the server side
DesiredCapabilities capability = DesiredCapabilities.Chrome();
Uri url = new Uri("http://www.globalcontactcentre.org:99/wd/hub");
IWebDriver site = new RemoteWebDriver(url, capability);
and started selenium server using the following string :
java -jar F:\sawy\driver\selenium-server-standalone-3.5.0.jar -port 99
and I have allowed connections through port 99 in the fire wall
but I still got this error client side

unable to know what is blocking to my application to communicate to Web service

Recently we were facing an issue in client place is that we were unable to communicate to web service even we checked that there is no system proxy set in that system, to overcome this we had given a dummy proxy (localhost:port) and its started working well but after some days with dummy proxy it was unable to communicate to service if we remove dummy proxy then it started working well. i am not able to understand what is blocking me to communicate to service. what may be the issue and how can we overcome this problem. This issue is happening only on some system.
Actually it has to go and hit this URL http://********-tech.in:8080/******dp/ClientVersion but suddenly it started hitting this one 125.21.244.38:8080 why i am not able to conclude.

Please read this post here they are telling to set the default proxy for the webservice request, they are trying to the proxy details while connecting to google. If there is no proxy configured you can try the method mentioned there. Set the default proxy.

Cannot initialize AndroidDriver

At W2k8 64 bit I have in the android emulator instance of android 4.1 API Level 16 with ARM as CPU.
After launch of it I'm running my UnitTest and on the first line
var webDriver = new AndroidDriver("http://localhost:8080/wd/hub"); //also with no argument
I got an exception:

I followed this article:

When I'm using other drivers like Firefox- or ChromeDriver works fine.
I would be gratefull for any advice
I might be telling you what you already know, but have you started the tcp port forwarding to android server you are running. for reference check Android Driver
Your server is not starting for some reason. Is it possible you already have something else running on port 8080?
Try running netstat -a -n and see if port 8080 is listed.
If it is in use, you might try setting up on a different port or killing the process which is using that port.
You might also try disabling UAC and Firewall on your machine and/or running the process as Administrator and see if that helps (This would be temporary of course, don't leave these off).

.Net Web Request - Unable to connect to the remote server

I'm using .Net Web Request to read the html of selected Webpages.
Once in a while I'm getting the following error:
2010-09-05 13:14:51,986 [File_29] ERROR Boxer.Classes.GetLinks [(null)] - HtmlUtils - GetResponse - Url - http://domain.com/index.html

--- End of inner exception stack trace ---
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
at Boxer.Classes.GetLinks.GetResponse(String url, Int32 timeout, Boolean& timeoutException)
I know for sure that the target URL is available.
Any idea what is the cause of the error?
There could be different reasons for this happening. Maybe the target server is throttling the response because it believes the request comes from a bot. In this case you might consider sending proper HTTP headers (if it works in your browser, try sending the same request headers). Also there could be a proxy in between that you need to configure and use.

sending mail works on server but not on my local machine

i have the following code below (i have stuck in xxx to not publish the real name). this code works fine when i upload to the server and will send out emails perfectly.
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.From = new MailAddress(fromEmailAddress_);
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress(toEmailAddress_));
msg.Subject = subject_;
msg.Body = body_;
msg.IsBodyHtml = true;
msg.Priority = MailPriority.High;
NetworkCredential basicAuthenticationInfo = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("xxx#xxxx.org", "password");
try
{
SmtpClient c = new SmtpClient("mail.xxx.org");
c.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
c.Credentials = basicAuthenticationInfo;
c.Send(msg);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
Console.Write(ex.Message.ToString());
}
but when i test locally on my machine in visual studio, i get an error:
[SocketException (0x274d): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 66.226.21.251:25]

any suggestions of why this wouldn't work
The first thing I'd do to run this down is to see whether the target machine is, as the error message says, actually refusing the connections. I can connect to port 25 on that IP address from here, so it's possible that your error message is misleading. These are all possible causes of a failure to connect:
there's some problem in your code
there's some problem in the library you're using
you have a local firewall preventing outbound mail from strange programs
your ISP does not permit outbound SMTP connections except to their own servers
some intermediate network is blocking things
the mail server's ISP is blocking SMTP connections from your network
the mail server really is rejecting you, perhaps because you're on a blocklist
To get more detail, download and install Wireshark. It's like a debugger for networks. Start a capture between your system and the target network and then run your code. Interpreting the captured packets takes some experience, so if you get stuck feel free to post more data here.
Relay restrictions are most likely preventing you from sending mail from outside an allowed set of IPs. If the SMTP Server is configured on a web/application server, it's probably set up to allow mail to be sent via the 127.0.0.1 only.
You can configure a local SMTP Server via the IIS Manager. If you go down this path, make sure port 25 is opened up on your local machine. Often times anti-virus type software block/monitor this port and it mucks with email delivery.
I think you are not using the port no in your code. Use these lines, Then mail should be gone on local also.
smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis;
smtp.Timeout = 60000;
smtp.Port = 25;
This is working on my system. I hope it will work also on your local system.
The provider has probably firewalled off their mail server so that it is only accepting mail from their hosting environment.
Change it to use your local mail server when you're testing it locally.
You asked for an XP Mail Server. Try hMailServer
Have a look to see if your antivirus is going crazy, i've have seen this problem a few times with people running mcafee.
Hope this helps.
