IOException java.net.ConnectException: failed to connect to /127.0.0.1(port 5000):connect failed:ECONNREFUSED(Connection Refused)

Trying to do android socket programming based on this tutorial http://examples.javacodegeeks.com/android/core/socket-core/android-socket-example/

I have my firewall turned off and anti virus disabled. If I make my server address to 127.0.0.1 I get the error in the title. If I make it my local IP address,it just sits at socket going to be created.I have tried it without and with port forwarding and setting it to the same port.
