Interesting. I assumed you changed it at both ends?
Does the server have a firewall running on it?
If so you may need to open the port.

Looks like you are receiving a bytestring in Python 3
(which is what I'd  expect) so you may need to decode()
it to get a text string

Really? You don't see the server output? That suggests your client
is not connecting. Can you connect via telnet?

I just tried your server code and get a typeError exception.
You need to send a bytestring like so:

c.send(b"Hello, hw ru")

You can then test your server using telnet with

telnet <host> <port>
