Minecraft server cannot be detected via android

Good day.

First, I can play minecraft no problem on my Arch laptop. I can connect locally to my spigot server using 192.168.1.103:25565, and 127.0.0.1:25565. Both my android devices can detect and connect to each other no problem, so my router is not the problem.

tcpdump on port 25565 (the port listed in server.settings)

14:06:13.099432 IP android-293649873e19eb25.19132 > WILLLAPTOP.25565: UDP, length 33
14:06:13.100437 IP android-293649873e19eb25.19132 > WILLLAPTOP.25565: UDP, length 33
14:06:13.100691 IP android-293649873e19eb25.19132 > WILLLAPTOP.25565: UDP, length 33

I figured it could be a firewall issue, so i looked to nmap to see if my port was open

25565/tcp open  minecraft

I also checked my iptables

sudo iptables -S
-P INPUT ACCEPT
-P FORWARD ACCEPT
-P OUTPUT ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 25565 -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 25565 -j ACCEPT

Any thoughts on the matter? Thank you.

Aren't Minecraft Pocket Edition and PC Minecraft totally seperate? I don't believe they can play together.

no it is possible.

Edit= @Kraetzin you're right. I had a brainfart. what I was reading is that you can go from minecraft pc into pe edition. it'd be nicer if it could be done the other way around.
