Your first step, of course, would be to look at the log4j configuration file. Have you done that yet?

And when you do that you'll see something which uses an appender which is an instance of the class com.barclays.is.logging.appenders.StringSocketAppenderIBank. You'll also see, I expect, parameters which define a server to connect to and a port on that server.

The error message clearly says there's a problem connecting to that port on that server. So check that the configuration defines the correct server and the correct port. And if it does, ask your networking people why the connection fails.
