You should confirm that the server is, in fact, listening on the port you believe it is. Try using netstat in this manner:

netstat -ano|Find ":2342"

You should see something like:

TCP    0.0.0.0:2342          0.0.0.0:0            LISTENING

Please comment on this post with the results of this command.

The other source of the error could be a firewall. You should check your local configuration and consult with the network administrator as well.

It would also help if you could show the firewall exception you have added.

Further to Kyle Smiths answer what is the app or service listening on port 2342 and how have you configured it to listen on 2342?
