Can you netcat to 192.168.4.252 port 514 and send some lines? If this
works then something with syslog-ng might not be ok. If this (the netcat
thing) does not work, then you might have a problem with a filter or a
routing table entry for example.

Do you have a packet filter between your host and the syslogd server? Is
the syslogd really listening on 192.168.4.252:512 (UDP) on the server?
Is this address routed and connected physically to the correct interface?

ECONNREFUSED (errno 111) normally means that no one is listening on the
remote address.
