So 10061 translates (via google) to:

*"TCP error code 10061: No connection could be made because the target*
* machine actively refused it."*

As well as that, we're going to need more information. On the local machine,
how are you connecting to the server? Using the keyword "localhost"? If so,
have you tried using "128.0.0.1"? How is the server accepting connections:
using IP4, IP6, or either?

TBH, this is the fundamental use of asio, so in this case I'd be surprised
if the problem lay outside your app. Are you sure you're iterating through
the endpoints correctly?
