The content server cannot use the same port as the wireless connection. See calibre Preferences / Sharing over the net for the current port and status of the content server.
That said, "connection refused" usually says that some computer actively said "no" to the connection request. That leads us back to something on the calibre computer. For example, if on my device I attempt to connect to port 9090 (the WD port) I get this:
If a computer isn't there then usually one gets something like "connection reset" or "timeout".

Using Ping&DNS the ping fails on the IP address.
On another computer on the network, ping succeeds.
Ping from the desktop to the phone fails.
Is this telling us that I am not getting out of the phone ... it browses and all that just fine, but maybe something has changed for other connections?

What you say is not consistent with CC getting an mDNS response from the computer running calibre. However, being not consistent is not the same as impossible.
The device not being able to ping the calibre computer while some other computer can implies that something in the home router is blocking normal intra-network packets. Are the computers that can see each other both cabled? Both using the same WiFi band?
The normal reason for something like this is that the home router is enforcing Wireless Isolation or Guest Mode. I have no idea how this would be turned on without some interaction on your part on the device or on the router. Another possibility is that the device is connected on one wireless band and the calibre computer on another band or on a cable, and the router has stopped transferring between the two. Again, it is difficult to see how this can happen if you changed nothing.
If you haven't changed any router settings then you might consider rebooting the router under the assumption that it changed itself. If you do this then you should power down all the devices connected to the router, reboot the router, then power up the devices.
The problem is that I really have no idea what is going on. We have seen situations where a device simply cannot ever connect to calibre. However, you were able to connect, so something else is going on. IIRC you have more than one device running CC. Do all the devices suffer from this problem?
