 Execute the following command in a terminal on your local machine:
 ```sh
-nc -zv <server_ip> 5900
+nc -zv <server_ip> <vnc_port>
 ```
 Expected output:
 ```
-Connection to <server_ip> port 5900 [tcp/rfb] succeeded!
+Connection to <server_ip> port <vnc_port> [tcp/rfb] succeeded!
 ```
 - If the connection fails, try [rebooting the server](/bare-metal/apple-silicon/how-to/reboot-mac-mini/).
 - If necessary, restart screen sharing via SSH. See [Restarting screen sharing via SSH](#restarting-screen-sharing-via-ssh).
