Mary, You should not have to apply any patches to your CPRS. What you will need to do is get all the firewall issues working. Then, when you try to connect, if you have the wrong CPRS version, it will tell you exactly which version you need. We can help you find the correct one.
http://openforum.worldvista.org/~forum/index.php?title=CPRS_Installation The connection refused error is a very common problem. It means that your CPRS is not getting a signal through to the listener on the server. This can be because you are trying to connect on a port different than the listener is listening on, or because your server has a firewall, or you are trying to go through a router. You may have the newer version of RPCBroker that uses inetd that I am not familiar with. Hopefully Nancy will come in to our rescue, as she seems to always have the best handle on this issue.
