    Usually, that means that the SSH server is not running, or you're not connecting to the right computer. 

    To fix the former, you would connect a keyboard and screen to your Pi and start the SSH server. The command is probably something like "systemctl start ssh" or "systemctl start dropbear".

    To fix the latter, you would find and use the correct IP address.

    If the ssh server was not running, it would timeout.  Refused means it is firewall blocked or ssh has some authentication problem.  Start with the firewall and whether your PI has one running.

    It means what it says -- the device you tried to connect to refused the connection.

    It could be that the SSH server daemon isn't running on the Pi so it's not expecting incoming connections, or maybe the firewall (iptables) is blocking SSH connections to it, or maybe something else.
