"Connection refused" typically means one of three things:

1. No daemon listening on that port.  Solution: confirm that sshd is
actually running on the remote host.  Also check sshd_config to ensure
that it is listening on port 22.

2. TCP wrappers rejecting connections on that port.  Solution: check
hosts.deny on the remote host.  If you are running denyhosts then you
may need to add an exception in hosts.allow to permit local traffic.

3. A firewall rule blocking connections on that port.  Solution: fix
your iptables configuration file.
