There could be many reasons, but the most common are:
The port is not open on the destination machine.
The port is open on the destination machine, but its backlog of pending connections is full.
A firewall between the client and server is blocking access (also check local firewalls).
After checking for firewalls and that the port is open, use telnet to connect to the ip/port to test connectivity. This removes any potential issues from your application.
