Ranorex Forum

Using Genymotion, I added a new device to emulate a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.
Each time I highlight and click on the new device, I get the error "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. 192.168.19.101:31000".

What is the main cause and solution to avoid this error?

Thanks.

Hi Gilbert,

Unfortunately it is hard to analyze the issue without having detailed information. Therefore, please let me know which version of Ranorex and Operating System you are currently using.
Please also post a screenshot of the error message because I'm not exactly sure which application throws the error.

Thank you.

Hi Gilbert,

For me it doesn't look like a Ranorex issue.
The port 31000 is quite strange, at least for me. Did you check if your virtual device is listening that port? Usually it is a lower port, in my case 5555 (which is default).
Run adb devices from command line and see what port is listed for that specific IP.
Also, please check if you have other than default network settings in genymotion (in settings>network default is all blank).

Other solution:
- Try disable WindowsFirewall for a while to see if helps.

I hope this helps you to find the cause and solve that issue.

Cheers,

Thanks for all your suggestions.
After rebooting and restarting both Genymotion and Ranorex and making sure the IP Address matches what Genymotion is showing on the screen, the "No connection" issue went away.

Thanks again.

BTW: After further investigation, the thing that actually made the connection successful, was doing the Instrumentation via Ranorex. What we did is follow the second option which is to download and copy the RxBrowser from http://bitly.com/mArchive and the version we noticed somehow is not as expected.
When we did Update Ranorex Service followed by Install RxBrowser from the Ranorex Instrumentation Wizard, the device (Samsung Galaxy Tab, for example) we were trying to connect to in Genymotion finally connected successfully.
