Comment (by eighthave):

 "The proxy server is refusing connections" is a very opaque error for the
 vast majority of users, IMHO.  I think something like "no network
 connection" or even "in airplane mode" would be good.  It is tempting to
 do something more elaborate, but I think just a clear error message would
 probably be best.
