ESP32 Mesh network - Connecting from MESH_NODE to HTTPS on laptop on local LAN

[MichaelS]

I have 3 ESP32-S3 dev kits.

They are all running the same software in the factory and OTA partitions.

I have a WIFI Mesh network and MQTT and OTA implemented.

I have an self organised WIFI mesh network a node acting as my MESH_ROOT positioned right next to my WIFI AP, and 2 MESH_NODEs close enough to get RSSI figures of around -60dB

I can run MQTT on all the nodes with the furthest running through the Mesh network to my Access Point / Modem Router and on to a HIVEMQ broker. This works flawlessly but it connects using the URI:

But my OTA which uses HTTPS to a server on my laptop, which for now I am triggering manually, works reliable on the MESH_ROOT node only.

On the MESH_NODEs it can't connect to my HTTPS server using a local LAN static IP address 192.168.1.2:8070

On the Mesh Node I get:

At the same time on the MESH_ROOT I get:

I think I am missing something in my understanding?
