Connection refused error when attempting to access private chef v12

[paul42]

I'm not certain if I'm doing this right, I've opened the fw's between my workstation and the chef instance, but I'm running the latest chef (v12)

when I attempt to run the code you provided in the example I get this error:

C:\code\chef-helper.js:17
throw err;
^
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED
at exports._errnoException (util.js:746:11)
at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect as oncomplete

If you are still using this library / running into issues please provide the options you are passing to configure chef-api.
