03 Check it

Which program uses port 1416, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :1416'      # process listening on 1416
sudo lsof -nP -i :1416

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :1416

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1416 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 1416
netstat -ano | findstr :1416

From another machine

nmap -p 1416 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 1416 <host>
nc -zv <host> 1416
