Answer 1

Adding to Christine's answer:

I had a similar situation. I was trying to connect to another android device through it's hotspot. Even though they were connected in to the same network, I encountered this problem of "connect failed: ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)".

After spoiling a couple of days on this, I realized that my client device was connected to mobile Internet also.That means, my mobile data was ON.

I turned it OFF and Viola !

Make sure you are not connected to any other networks.

Posted this in case it may help anybody.

Answer 2

Is your phone on the same network as the computer where you connect with the ip number? Is the server on the public internet? I get this error when I forget to put my phone on my local wifi network and it wants to connect to a server on my local network.
