Connect mobile and desktop Air apps via Wifi Hotspot

Question

I'm attempting to connect air apps via a wifi hotspot that is setup on the Windows laptop, using something like this:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=tests key=tests123

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

I can connect my Android device to this network.

Usually I connect devices over Wifi using something like this Adobe Air - How to detect LAN servers (listening to a specific port)

I can connect the devices and the Android device is receiving data and sending data to the correct IP, however the Desktop Air app that is running the WiFi hotspot is not receiving data. Any clues why that might be?

Turned off Windows Firewall which was blocking port
