OK, the problem is solved now. I tested it on virtual machine because
of lack of real machine. Now my brother is at home with his windoze
laptop and everything works like a charm in current configuration. I
don't know what's wrong with virtual machine setup, but suspecting it
to be some problem with firewall blocking packets. Doesn't matter.
Thanks, Jatin. Appreciate your effort. And sorry for the noise, List!
All the best
