You're probably using a more recent version of Dwarf Fortress than that version of Stonesense can connect to. The independent versions of Stonesense only go up to 31.21, while the most recent version of Dwarf Fortress, which you probably downloaded if you got it off the main page, is 31.25. Anymore, Stonesense is bundled with the DFHack utility library as a plugin for said library.

Just so we're clear, though, Stonesense is not a game. It is what's called a visualizer; it reads from Dwarf Fortress the game and makes a pretty picture from that data. You cannot interact with Dwarf Fortress at all through Stonesense, meaning you have to do the actual play in the ASCII interface (or a graphics and/or tile set if you're lame (there's something of a friendly rivalry between people who use the default ASCII graphics and tile sets and those who don't)).
