I haven't been able to connect for a couple of weeks. I've uninstalled/reinstalled. Asked friends for help, no one that I communicate with has seen this before.

what I see in the ISX window is....

The beginning of several of these reads...

isxGamesPatcher: Starting (Ver. 20090703.0001 by CyberTech/Amadeus)
isxGamesPatcher: Exception: System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to remote server ----> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:5555 at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.DoConnect (EndPoint endPointSnapshot, SocketAddress socketAddress)

and so on and so forth.....

currently using Framework 3.5. I reverted back to 2.0 with the same results.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is something happened over night. I have not changed any hardware, or installed any new software, or changed ISP's that I am aware of.

Specs:
XP Home 32bit
I5 750
Intel P55 mobo
4 gig DDRPC3
WD Raptor HD
XFX 4650

I'm sorta wondering why it's trying to connect to localhost. Check your hosts file (windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) and see if there's anything strange in there.

Also, according to google, port 5555 has been used by trojans and other malware. Might want to do a scan for miscellaneous crap too.

Just had the same problem (except it gave a different address to which it was trying to connect: 127.0.0.1:50730) on a friend's PC and determined that it was his default proxy settings that .NET inherits, which can be easily configured using IE. I realize that the OP asked several months ago, but at least others can now find a working solution if they search for the error and get this post.

This assumes you *DON'T* want or need proxy settings, but somehow have had those configured by other, possibly malicious, programs:

Code: 
Run "iexplore" -> Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings -> Advanced

Clear out the proxy address and port for HTTP. (You will notice the goofy address it was trying to use is right there.)
Press OK.
Press Yes, if asked to turn off proxy connections.
Press OK.
Press OK.
Close Internet Explorer.
Close all InnerSpace consoles and restart InnerSpace.

Yes, it is unfortunate that most settings that are done in IE affect pretty much every application that is based on .NET.
