Local host refused to connect

I am unable to connect to the SPLUNK server for my 60-day trial.  I was able to connect yesterday but today I am unable to connect and am getting the following message:  "Hmmm... can't reach this page.  localhost refused to connect" when  I entered:  http://localhost:8000/en-US/account/login?return_to=%2Fen-US%2F   I called Norton and they stated that the firewall is not denying access but the problem is on the SPLUNK server end.  Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Hi @cscott 

might be chance that Splunk was down, 

from command prompt
cd C:\Program Files\Splunk\bin

run following command 

splunk status ---> if this output shows splunk not running  start splunk using below command

splunk start
