Unable to connect to devuan laptop server on local network

Hi all,

I've ran into a issue with my current Devuan install on my laptop. When trying to use a program called "qrcp" I found that I was unable to connect to the server that was created in order to do the file transfer. I did a little testing and if I spin up an nginx server, I have the same issue. I also found that I am unable to ping the address of the laptop as well. After even more digging I found that there were certain machines that I was unable to ping _from_ the devuan laptop (making the request while on the laptop pinging outward) namely my actual home server, my phone, and my TVs but I was able to ping everything else.

I've checked for firewalls, iptables, subnet issues, tried joining to different wifis, etc. but nothing seems to fix this issue. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

PS: I do have internet connection although I recently broke NetworkManager in the process of debugging... xD

Does the router isolate between wireless hosts and wired hosts?
