My goto troubleshooting methodology in instances like this is to ping the host, telnet to the host on the port desired and see if it connects and then port scan the host with nmap. I find that wastes the least amount of time because you can respond to your colleague, the help desk or whoever with “I tried the following and I got exactly this far”

Also, since a port scan will find al lthe open ports, and nmap -sV will even do a basic service fingerprint) it helps you realize if you are totally connecting to the wrong server.

Port & firewall fighting at third-party locations like hotels, conference centres, airports, training facilities are such fun. It’s like skateboarding blindfolded and without a helmet.
