Try different port:
export OLLAMA_HOST=http://localhost:8080

Then restart the ollama service :-
ollama serve
or if you are following a service based approach.
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart ollama

Run this in an Administrator PowerShell terminal and post the result:

Something is preventing connections to port 11434. Do you have a proxy, firewall or anti virus software? Try turning it off.

I don't know actually my antivirus and my fire wall both are turned off and I don't use any VPN at all

@rohanrlobo commented on GitHub (Jan 27, 2025):

The error you encountered when trying to run ollama run deepseek-r1:7b may be due to the Ollama application not running properly in the background. Here are the steps to troubleshoot the issue:

Check if Ollama is Running: Ensure that the Ollama application is running in the background. You can check the system tray for the Ollama icon.

Quit and Relaunch: If Ollama is already running, quit the tray application and relaunch it from the Start menu. After relaunching, try running the command again.

Firewall Settings: If the issue persists, check your firewall settings to ensure that they are not blocking the connection to 127.0.0.1:11434.

Hello, sorry for the bump, but I'm trying to run deepseekv3 on my device, but i haven't been successful. i get a similar error when i use run, and pull has no success message, unlike with a smaller model I tested. I had no problems with a 1.7 GB model, and I'm trying a 50 GB model at the moment to see if its just deepseek, or the file size.

I also have the same hardware setup as the original poster. RTX 4060, Ryzen 5 5600 g, 16 GB ddr4 ram, win 11. I'm trying to install the model on an old 500 GB RPM drive that has a 10 mb/s speed on average.
