I wrote a socket server program on a Windows PC and the client side for the raspberry pi - both in Python.
When I run both locally using localhost - it works fine.
When I move the client program to the PI (both connected to the same local subnet via WIFI), I can't connect.
If the Windows Firewall is on - no connection and no error message. I created rules to enable the appropriate port number (50000)
If the Windows Firewall is off - then I get connection refused.
Just to isolate my client program - I did a curl from the PI and same results depending on the setting for the firewall.
I can ping from the PI to the PC regardless of Firewall setting.
If I open a browser on the PC and do a localhost:50000 - that connects. When I do with the host pc IP address:50000 - doesn't work.
