I can't really tell from the data you've provided if the simulator is running when you try to connect to it or not. If the simulator is running, you should be able to see it in the task manager or on the command line via:

tasklist | findstr "simulator"

If you want to see if the simulator is listening for network connections, you need to use netstat to check:

netstat -nq | findstr "LISTENING" | findstr ":1234"

Oftentimes it is a firewall (which you say you've eliminated) or anti-malware software that blocks listening ports. I know users have complained of issues like this in the past, but I've never been able to reproduce it (aside from doing obvious things like blocking ports).

thank you for trying help. actually i did mention "simulator runs and port 1234 obviously works"

i can even make succesfull connection via telnet by doing

telnet 127.0.0.1 1234

what the hack? :)) still investigating
