如何调试以下Go代码，该代码试图建立与IP地址和端口的TCP连接？

I am getting an IP address and port number from a Bittorrent tracker, for a specific torrent file. It represents a peer on the bittorrent network. I am trying to connect to the peer using this code. The connection always times out (getsockopt: operation timed out). I think I am missing something very fundamental here, because I tried the same code in python with the exact same result, operation timed out. It happens for every single peer IP address.

I downloaded this bittorrent client - https://github.com/jtakkala/tulva which is able to connect to peers from my system using this type of code (Line 245, peer.go). I have also been able to use similar code for connecting to a tcp server running on localhost.

Edited details after JimB's comment and Kenny Grant's answer

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "net"
)

func main() {
    raddr := net.TCPAddr{IP: []byte{}/*This byte slice contains the IP*/, Port: int(/*Port number here*/)}
    conn, err := net.DialTCP("tcp4", nil, &raddr)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error while connecting", err)
        return
    }
    fmt.Println("Connected to ", raddr, conn)
}
