Hi, theres probably a simple anwser for this but when I run a service on
my OpenBSD laptop on my LAN I can't access it on other computers in my
LAN.
E.g. I put up a web server on 192.168.1.2 but can only access it on my
laptop.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Quick checklist:
1 - Ping your laptop from other host in your LAN to discard reachability
issues. Some Wireless LANs don't allow traffic from one host to the
other unless enabled at the router.
2 - You can try disabling your laptop's firewall altogether in order to
discard firewall configuration issues. Do this only if the LAN is
reasonably trustworthy. pfctl -d
3 - Use netstat -an -f inet at your OpenBSD laptop to ensure there is
actually a service listening on the port you think it is.
