The "Connection timed out" means that the rsync port on the targat is
unreachable (if the problem was that there was nothing listening on the
rsync port, then you would get "Connection refused" pretty quickly).
As you can ping the IP, then this indicates that there is some firewall
along the route that is blocking the rsync port (873). Hence you need to
resolve the firewall problems.
