sapinst uses two default ports to connect to gui server while installation, here in your case that defualt port seems to be busy or not open.

check whether another process is already running for sapinst and that might be blocking that port, you can use, ps -ef | grep sapinst

check, telnet 'serverip' port whether the port is listerning or not.

Otherwise, you can run sapinst using some other port option
