 * Yes, it appears on the plugin settings page.
 * Yes, it repeats (every 5 minutes or something like that). I never managed te 
   connect succesfully.

 * Hi squirl077,
 * Thanks for letting me know. This means that our server is refusing the connection
   from your site. I will look through the connection logs to see if I can work 
   out why. What hosting are you using? It may help me to narrow down/solve the 
   problem later.
 * Sorry you are experiencing problems when trying to use our plugin, I will do 
   my best to make sure it works smoothly soon!

 * Hi squirl077,
 * I just wanted to let you know that I am still looking into this and trying very
   hard to reproduce/understand what is causing this. I will let you know more as
   soon as possible.

 * I have exact the same problem. At my last provider (transmega) there was no problem
   eith the plugin. Now I have Hosting2go and I get a socket 111 error.
 * I asked the helpdesk of my provider and they told me that they probably refuseses
   to connect to your servers. Is it possible to tell me the ip adresses of your
   servers. Then dthe provider can add these numbers tot their whitelist.
 * Greetings,
    Edgar

 * Hi Egmuller,
 * Thank you very much for letting us know. I have still been looking into this 
   on and off, but could not find a trace of it in our logs at all. I did not consider
   it being the source blocking the connection.
 * The server is hosted by Memset (UK) and the IP is: 89.200.139.16
 * At some point just before the end of this year this will be moving to a new and
   improved system. I have made a note to make a post about it here with the server
   details.
 * I am also going to consider displaying this information on the plugin settings
   page, with an indicator to show if the site can connect to our online service
   or not.
 * Please let me know how this works out and thank you again for letting us know.
