Troubleshooting Connection Failure (Error 10065)

Question :

When I attempt to connect to my server, I receive an error that says "Connection Failed (10065) No route to host".

Answer :

This error indicates that the IP address of the server you are attempting to connect to is unreachable from your computer. You'll need to check your PC's network settings.

In order to check your network settings, do the following:

Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me

Click Start -> Run
Type "WinIPCfg" in the Open: box and then click OK

Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP

Click Start->Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt
At the prompt, type "IPConfig" and press Enter

Verify that these settings are correct. If they are incorrect, contact your Network Administrator for assistance in properly configuring your computer on the network.

If these settings are correct, then it is possible that your Server may be down or you may be experiencing some other miscellaneous problem with your network. You should contact your Network Administrator for assistance in this situation also.
