The next thing is to check the local route table.

In classic Linux the tool is 'route':

   route -n

it may need 'sudo' to get enough privileges.

If the systen has the directory /proc/net, you can print out
the file /proc/net/route to see the routings.

Abother possibility is that the system has a built-in firewall
killing your new connections.
