Please, in future, copy and paste the *text* of the error message - don't post a screenshot. As to the actual problem: You're masking a potentially useful exception behind a bare except that just prints a generic message *and then continues*. This is a very bad idea. Don't do it. Take all that out and just attempt the connection; then you'll get a useful error. Same further down. Just don't. ChrisA
