And that's it, the message keeps reappearing and i won't get a success connection message.

What am i doing wrong ?

There doesn't seem to be a server listening (or responding), check if service is running at all, if firewall blocks it...

Side note: SHA1 is considered broken, you should use a different encryption mechanism
