Diagnosis

1. Check the operating system that Confluence server is on. If it is Windows, the "Connection Refused" means Confluence couldn't connect to the Windows NTLM SOAP Proxy started by Confluence. If it is Unix or Mac, need to check on the network and firewall configuration, as Confluence is being prevented from connecting to SharePoint over the network.

2. Check if something else is using this port by running the following command from a command prompt: netstat -a -b. Example output:
