[Python] cannot connect to socket in python. Error WinError 10061

I'm trying to connect in a virtual machine local with 2 python scripts. One for the server and one for the client. When I'm tryng to connect it says me:

ConnectionRefusedError: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it


My server.py:

import socket

serversocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
serversocket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1) # allows reuse of the same port if the server script restarts
serversocket.bind(('', 8089))
serversocket.listen(5) # become a server socket, maximum 5 connections

while True:
connection, address = serversocket.accept()
try:
buf = connection.recv(64)
if buf:
print (buf)
finally:
connection.close()


My client.py

import socket

print("Client calling .....")

socket_main = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
socket_main.connect(('192.168.1.171', 8089))
message = 'Hello'
socket_main.send(message.encode())


Any help? Thanks
