Those kinds of problems usually lead to a timeout or EOF from server.  A
refused connection means that you were able to contact the server and it
refused your connection.  Firewalls prevent you from contacting the
server at all and /etc/hosts.* don't take effect until after the
connection is established (but before the server is started).
