Received this error message when attempting to start ANTS Profiler:
Unable to start profiler - exception details System.Exception: Error stopping IISAdmin ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
I am using VS 2003 with IIS5 on a Win2K Pro machine. The version of Profiler is 2.7.1.20 - the 14-day trial.
Turns out that Profiler needed Server privileges for both Trusted and Internet Zones in the ZoneAlarm firewall Program Control settings.

As well as OS privilege issues, you may also have to contend with firewalls. The profiler Service needs 8087 unblocked, or RedGate.Profiler.Service.exe allowed program-level access. You may also have to contend with 2000 (Pro) and XP's 10-connection limit, which would also throw exactly the same error message when you exceed the limit.
