There is something fundamentally wrong with these messages since
recvfrom is receiving messages and "connection refused" means it's not
listening on the address/port. I'd like to know how these errors got
generated since it makes no sense to me.

Are you using static IP addresses or are you using DHCP to assign your
server's address?
