Need more information. "Connection refused" is as good as saying "it's broken".

are you trying to host it on your own computer?
are you giving out 192.168.x.x ip address?
are you able to connect?

Okay, so your problem is likely to be port forwarding.

- Make sure your giving others the external ip: http://www.whatismyip.org
- setup port forwarding for your minecraft port (varies from router to router, google is your friend). Typically you would edit your router settings by typing the routers ip in your address bar, eg http://192.168.0.1
