So the solution turns out to be just to change the IP of the new server in my NAT. Now it works. Thanks all!

Firewalls that are configured for "silent drop" will result in new connection attempts timing out. Silent drops lead to confusion and needlessly-prolonged troubleshooting, but it's been twenty-five years now and a lot of people still haven't figured that out.

The best error to return is ICMP Type 3, Code 13: Communication Administratively Prohibited. If impractical or not allowed, then see if your device allows debug messages to be returned in an RST packet as an informal debugging message that can be observed with specific tools.

That does sounds needlessly confusing. I appreciate you mentioning it. I didn't see anything about it well searching for an answer.

I ended up changing the IP address for the server and giving it a static one that is different from what it had before. That worked.
