Currently i run a discord bot on a laptop which accesses endpoints on my main pc where i host my flask server. I got a new router today and cant for the life of me work out what is wrong. I have tried a lot of things but cant work out what is wrong. I am now at the point where i am struggling to just ping the laptop from my main pc on my local network so any advice or tips much appreciated.
I am going to sleep now so hopefully I have some suggestions when I wake up. Thanks in advance

Are you trying to access it locally or from outside? If it's the latter, did you forward the port? Also, make sure you got the right address IP, they are dynamic, which means they can change; if you changed your router it 100% changed.
If you don't want your IP to change I recommend that you assign a static IP to your server.

It’s all on local network. When I do a get request on the pc which runs the api it will load up whatever I’m doing it’s just the two devices seem like they don’t want to interact

You'll have to be more precise. It's impossible to guess what isn't working from just that.

So I’ve been trying to ping the ipv4 ip over the local network 192.168.0.33 for my main pc and 192.168.0.27 for my laptop and I’m getting request timeout when I try this
Would a new router have different firewall settings? I’m not too clued up on networking stuff so trying to learn
I’ve done a dns flush to no avail

Are you sure those are the right ips? Are you using the right port? Are you getting any information on your server? Have you tried to look at your connection logs?

Correct ip and port
Nothing happening on either pc when trying to ping
Not sure about the logs

Just to be clear, those are 2 different computer right? Both are connected to your router too?

yes
i think actually
i have it working
on private network turned off on both
it pings other laptop
but laptop to pc isnt working
might need to do some tinkering
i gtg to work so will test when i get home

Resolved was due to firewall
