Please be civil. Read my post carefully, then respond. And there is no
need to respond to the same email twice.

Now to the point of the discussion:

The OP is trying to setup a server, lets call it newserver. Lets call
his already working machine laptop. According to my suggestion he
either needs to connect the laptop to a different network and use,

nc -z <newserver_ip>
