I don't think you have internet access then, if you can't ping out and you're getting connection refused.
Is this you life in an apartment or have some sort of shared or unique internet setup? Do you have access to your router?

I think I had a seizure 😂
Do you live in an apartment?
😂 I must have dyslexia since I didn’t even catch that and read it how you meant it
Hmm yeah interesting - own house & have my own router upstairs this is one of the Ethernet outlets downstairs. Can reboot the S9 from my laptop. Maybe I’ll try plugging in directly to the router and see if that makes a difference, even though the lights on the Ethernet port seem to be appropriate per the Antminer site (yellow on left, flashing green on right)
I don’t see any of my hashboard lights on either which is weird, thought there would be a red light on those.
Man I’m like a poor little hobbit going into battle with this stuff 😂
Is your S9 configured by DHCP or are you manually assigning an IP address to it?
ssh into it again and try to ping your router.
If your router is 192.168.1.1 try to ping it.
ping 192.168.1.1
You should get successful responses.
Ok perfect will try that as well. Seriously thanks so much for your time and help! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
