Connection to server failed

[Nomax5]

I’m trying to set up a local server just for me to play around with some things.
I’ve been following this guide http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...kka=ws1129r222 and I think I’ve completed all the steps correctly – everything seems to be in order
when I run my ServerStart.bat
there seems to be a problem

what is "Error: 10061"? is there a list of error codes anywhere?

any ideas or pointers greatly appreciated
