I have an issue with TheFatRat

I use Kali linux , and I was trying to generate a backdoor to a computer here , at home , but my machine doesnt entable a connection with the computer. Using the fatrat I generate a backdoor for windows using the windows/meterepreter/reverse_tcp payload , I place this file in the acctual victim .Finally I create a listener with the same features and I open the .exe backdoor , but nothing happens , Any help? Thank you
