Re: Unable to ping local network devices

Disable iwd.service (collides w/ NM - if you want to use iwd as NM backend, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … Fi_backend ) - it would be an incredibly weird response by your AP to you showing up like a drunk maniac, but hey…
And certainly try to disable iptables.service ('cause that's a firewall…, you can also check the rules, "iptables -nvL") - but that would not explain the Hue Bridge behavior

There're a couple of questionable services in ubuntu, but I can't really comment on whether they're error prone there and your phone is affected, too. So we'll ignore that.

Im away from the network for a little bit, so I’ll respond with how this went when im back, but i can see this being the issue, in looking bsck i realized I misunderstood the portion of 2.2 on the install that says to install a dhcp client, and had interpreted it to mean one on top of iwd, which may be the issue.

And certainly try to disable iptables.service ('cause that's a firewall…, you can also check the rules, "iptables -nvL") - but that would not explain the Hue Bridge behavior

The only rule set on my iptables is an explicit allow on port 3389 TCP, it was a sanity check from way earlier in my troubleshooting.

The ubuntu system is the system thst i really first made myself learn linux on so i imagine it has some oddities, that being said ive never messed w/ networking on it beyond the defaults so i cant imagine its anything too bad, so its likely nothing.

Re: Unable to ping local network devices

Alright. I'm on a different network that I can leave the XRDP server at instead of the original network and now without any modification I can ping everything on this new network, so at least for my purposes, this issue is solved. I may come back to it in a few days at the old network for the sake of trying to figure it out, but the other network I am on now should be configured the exact same as the original so I don't know where the original issue is sourced. I have disabled iwd to ensure I dont experience future issues, but other than that its working without modifying anything. Thank you for your help, and I may message again in a few days to try and fix whatever issue is happening so it doesnt root any other issues.
