REST testing: Connection Refused when connected to VPN

Not using any proxies. No other special configurations in the properties file (ie IPv4 setting). Requests work fine when not on VPN (problem is I need VPN in order to connect to certain servers). I'm using v4.5.1. Here is a snippet of the error I'm getting:

Thu Aug 09 16:28:28 PDT 2012:ERROR:java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: connect
java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: connect


Please help!

    Hi,

    sounds like a VPN / Firewall connection issue - ie soapUI is not able to reach the target host - can you telnet to the host from your local machine on the port you are using in your soapUI request?
