192.168.x.x:1500

So I have a small local server running a website. It's not public facing at all, has a static IP address on my WiFi LAN and can be accessed by any Linux machine. I can't see it on any iPhone or Android device though

I've looked up tutorials on line, ensured my firewalls allow local sharing on the WiFi, double checked I can even ping the server successfully with nmap on Android

Any tips?

::edit:: typo in post, not when searching for IP on LAN

My guess is that you are making a typo. Like others have said 192.162.x.x is a public IP. You probably want something like 192.168.x.x which probably is more like 192.168.1.1/24 with the last 1 being its own number
