I have some great news for our Backburner users who are running into issues submitting jobs from Maya. We have just posted a public release of Backburner 2012.1.1. There are some key fixes and I highly recommend you upgrade if you are running into any of the issue listed below.
The download can be found in the Autodesk.com site here.
I highly recommend you uninstall the current version and remove all Backburner preferences before installing the newest cut.
After you install and get backburner up and running attempt to submit a job. If you still seem to be getting a connection refused error when submitting a job, try entering 7347 as the port value and submit again.
Setting this value will pass the default setting where cmdjob uses multicast to connect to the manager and fails.
| Bug Number | Description |
| MAYA-7652 | No connection could be made, target machine refused error while submitting a job or if a port was manually entered in the Submission window |
| MAYA-8238 | Manager fails to launch with machines with multiple network adapters |
| MAYA-8117 | Problem closing Manager on Windows 7 64-bit operating system |
| MAXX-4177 | Manager creates duplicate job handles when multiple jobs are sent within one second of each other |
Best of luck!

This solved my problem in the following situation:
Maya 2012 64-bit Subscription Adv. Pack SP 1 running on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
Initially, the symptom I was having was the "no connection could be made". I then tried Maya 2011 64-bit and resubmitting an old job. I started getting errors similar to toe "..cmdjob.exe error 5.."
I saw this post today so I uninstalled BB 2012.1.0.1571, installed BB 2012.1.1.1575, resubmitted the job from Maya 2012 and it worked!
I highly recommend updating Backburner 2012 to the latest version.
Good luck all!
