Hello,
i have just bought a raspberry pi and i do not own a screen. i put my sd cards where NOOBS seems to be installed ( when i bought the rpi with the accessories it was said " NOOBS preinstalled" ) and i plugged my rpi to my box, but when i try to connect to my rpi, i got an error message like " host refused connexion"
any ideas ?
Thanks a lot

Re: Connexion refused
NOOBS requires a screen, keyboard, mouse and wired internet connection, and IMHO is very new user unfriendly. You may be better off using the rasbian image. If you have a mac, then you should be able to ssh to rasberrypi.local, or if you have windows; install putty and apple's bonjour* service (printer) and you can then do the same.
*The bonjour service is zero conf networking and is compatible with avahi that is installed on Raspian.

Re: Connexion refused
You shouldn't even need to format the card. The Raspbian install replaces the existing formatting with it's own settings. Just follow the instructions.
