The last two days I have tried to log in to EMC I have been getting this error mesage java.net.connectionexeption:Connection refused no further information. It doesn't pop up on any other servers that I try to connect to. Any help regarding this matter would be much appreciated.
sounds like you are using direct connect addresses like smp1.X. This can sometimes fail like this. Please use play.emc.gs and use /smp1 /smp5 etc to switch servers.
