    I am running networktablet on fedora 18 (compiled from source).

    Seems to start up ok and listens on port 40118. But the android app just doesn’t do anything, the linux process never receives anything. I can ping my laptop IP from my android device just fine using a ping app. There is no firewall running on the laptop. I used the laptop IP in the android app network setting. Any suggestion?

    My android device is a Galaxy Note 2.

    Note, when i move my finger around on the phone, the wifi “send/receive” arrows light up, and go dim when I stop. So it seems like at some level the Android app is sending something.

    doh! After debugging with tcpdump and seeing the packets arriving on my laptop, but nothing happening on networktablet, I started to doubt that the firewall was really off.

    Fedora used to use iptables but shutting that off is not how it works anymore.

    sudo systemctl stop firewalld.service did it.
