03 Check it

Which program uses port 37475, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :37475'      # process listening on 37475
sudo lsof -nP -i :37475

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :37475

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 37475 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 37475
netstat -ano | findstr :37475

From another machine
