WSAECONNREFUSED (10061) - Connection refused.

Problem:
Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT.
connect: 10.31.64.101:1888: WSAECONNREFUSED

Cause & Solution: 

This problem occurs when you are trying to connect to a server which is not running. May be the network in-between lost, or perforce must  be down due to some reason etc.

check whether the port is running  and  restart perforce server if needed

[root@p4proxyserver4 ~]# netstat -na | grep 1444
tcp        0      0 10.27.60.103:1444           0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN

In my case it happened that the proxy server which i was trying to connect, could not connect to the main server  which is recently restarted.  So once i restarted the proxy server, i was able to connect to the proxy perforce server fine.
