From the looks of it, either WinRM is not enabled/configured or a firewall is blocking your connection to the server.Rich Prescott | Infrastructure Architect, Windows Engineer and PowerShell blogger | MCITP, MCTS, MCP

1. Simple test with netstat -an or TCPview (from Sysinternal) would show what happens when testing connection to remote server. More information gives Network Monitor.

2. As the communication port for remote control is the same as web servers are using, you may have problem, if you use third party web server on target server.
