Some common causes could include that there may not be a route from the client to 157.96.177.86, port 1514 may not be open on 157.96.177.86, there could be a firewall between the machines blocking port 1514.
A few quick tests:
-On 157.96.177.86 run "netstat -na" to see if port 1514 is listening
-Try to ping 157.96.177.86 from the machine that cannot connect to it
-Assuming the port is TCP and is up and listening on 157.96.177.86 try running "telnet 157.96.177.86 1514" on the machine that cannot connect to it
