IIRC, there is a bug in the installer that installs guardian with
classic. I dont know if that is your problem, but I don't think it is
a good idea to run guardian with a classic server.

Also, replace localhost with the hostname of the machine or the IP
address of the machine or 127.0.0.1 just to rule out network issues.

This is the exact winsock message:
