I have Mac and if I do

 nc -vz 192.168.1.13 777

I got

nc: connectx to 192.168.1.13 port 777 (tcp) failed: Operation timed out

192.168.1.13 is a Windows machine in the local network. I have enabled port 777 on Windows Firewall (I am using the built-in one). I have also tried other ports, but with the same result.

If I disable firewall altogether, I got:

nc: connectx to 192.168.1.13 port 777 (tcp) failed: Connection refused

However, in both cases, I can't get through with "succeeded". What am I missing?

Is anything listening on port 777? – vidarlo Jul 06 '23 at 09:57
I have also tried different ports with the same outcome. – Martin Perry Jul 06 '23 at 10:09

Is anything listening on the ports you're testing? If nothing's listening, then of course you will get a connection refused! – vidarlo Jul 06 '23 at 11:48
Oh... my mistake. I was thinking that i will just check port before running the app. Thanks. It solved the "problem".. Post it as answer, please – Martin Perry Jul 06 '23 at 12:27
