my goal is to ppience regarding netcat so i'm asking if anyone can help me
out with this.
Do you have iptables running?   The default config would probably
block your udp traffic.

here is my iptable-rules

And your INPUT chain rejects everything that is not matched by those lines above it.

You'll need a:

-A INPUT -p udp --dport <port> -j ACCEPT in there before you go to REJECT.
