No, it does not rule it out, and I already stated WHY it is not ruled out:

For all we know, his service may simply not be configured in the
firewall properly and his normal application is. Or his router's port
forwarding settings are not configured properly on one port that the service
is trying to use, but are ok on another port that the normal application
uses. There is no way to know at this point because he has not provided any
specific details about his particular network setup or code configurations,
so there is no way to trace the problem further.

Terry needs to provide the actual IP addresses that his two machines are
using, the IP/Port that his server is listening on, the IP/Port that his
client is trying to connect to, the router configuration for those IP/ports,
and the firewall permissions for the applications, in order to figure out
why connections can reach one application but not the other.
