Cannot establish WiFi connection

[neunneundrei]

Whenever I try to establish a WiFi connection, I get the error:

SocketError: 10061 - Connection is forcefully rejected.

I am using Windows 10, and a Samsung Galaxy S10+.

The two devices are on the same network (and subnet) - in fact, I can ping the Samsung from Windows just fine.

I have rebooted all devices and still get an error, ie. reboot router, reboot PC, and reboot phone.

I have disabled the Windows Firewall entirely, and I still get the error.

Under the Connection tab I have selected 'Phone Type: Phone with Google Android-OS'.

I have also tried the following 'Connect via...' options:
- WiFi
- Fixed IP-Address
- Autodetect
all with the same error.

Any help would be appreciated.

SocketError: 10061 - Connection is forcefully rejected.

The error message indicates that the MPE client on the phone is not starting or is not being reached

Thank you - it pointed me in the right direction.

I went into Settings on the MPE phone app and enabled some stuff and now it works.

Can you be more specific regarding what you enabled? I'm having the same problem!

MPE client on the phone is not starting when I connect via Wifi.
Have to start MPE client manually on the phone.
How do I get it to start when I connect via WiFi?
I use Fixed IP-Address and fixed mac address in router.
