It looks to me as a simple error which means that the remote server 50.50.50.4 does not run the SSH server at port 22 OR there is some network connectivity to the IP 50.50.50.4.

Please check if ping or tracert or some other network connectivity works, also if the server 50.50.50.4 is behind a firewall, it may not be possible...

...OR the remote server may be down if you feel the network is fine and working.

I don't think so. Normally, "Connection
refused" means that you can communicate with
the other system, but it's not offering the
requested service.

Which one? The right one (remote sshd not
running) or the wrong one (remote server
down)?
