"Unable" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what
you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual,
showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error

descriptions or interpretations.
In my experience, people who talk about ports being "open" or
"closed" often don't understand the problem.

when you did it.
