If the client is showing attempts to connect to 127.0.0.1:3333 but
ncid.conf shows a different host, this could happen if ncid.conf is changed
without restarting the client.
If you go to the client and pick Server->Select NCID Server, what does it
show as currently selected?
And the client is properly communicating with the server.
If it was properly communicating, it wouldn't be showing reconnect
attempts. What are you seeing that indicates it is working ok?

If I were you, would be using "ps -ef | grep ncid" to see if there was more than one ncid running.
The I would try "kill 2690" to see which one disappeared.

This is interesting, ncid shows as running even when it is not. If I explicitly start ncid, then there are 2. Something is autostarting the client in the background with no GUI display.
It looks like net.sourceforge.ncid.desktop was dropped into my .config/autostart directory and it was being started in the background with the "On only desktop notifications" setting.
I set autostart to Off and it seems to have eradicated the messages.

Hello:
I am running the NCID client on Fedora 34 (using the packaged version).
Every 15 seconds, the client tries to connect to a server on the local
host. However, there is no server running on that host, it runs
elsewhere.
sourceforge.ncid.desktop[2690]: 127.0.0.1:3333 - couldn't open socket:
connection refused
A check of the ncid.conf shows that the only host configured it NOT
127.0.0.1. And the client is properly communicating with the server.
Bug or something I may have missed?
Thanks for this great software.
