socket.error connection refused

[Vania]

Hi, the reason I mentioned the socket is because that is
where the error eventually occurs.

the code I tried manually (with different urls including a local one)
is the following:

import urllib
fo=urllib.urlopen("http://www.google.com")

the error I get is:

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib.py", line 82, in urlopen
    return opener.open(url)
  File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib.py", line 190, in open
    return getattr(self, name)(url)
  File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib.py", line 313, in open_http
    h.endheaders()
  File "C:\Python24\lib\httplib.py", line 798, in endheaders
    self._send_output()
  File "C:\Python24\lib\httplib.py", line 679, in _send_outp
    self.send(msg)
  File "C:\Python24\lib\httplib.py", line 646, in send
    self.connect()
  File "C:\Python24\lib\httplib.py", line 630, in connect
    raise socket.error, msg
IOError: [Errno socket error] (10061, 'Connection refused')
