I am new to Proxmox and just installed version 7.2 to an HP Proliant DL380 g9 server. The installation seemed to go fine except when I went to access the web interface on my local network it refuses to connect and I get the follow message:

This page isn’t working​

192.168.1.5 didn’t send any data.
ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

I can access the server via SSH, I can ping the server from my laptop and I can ping my laptop from the server. The server also has WAN access as I can ping 8.8.8.8.

Also port 8006 shows open:

I am at a loss as what the issue could be. I have been searching the forms for solutions from others that have/had a similar issue but have not found a solution to works.
 
Now I discover that I can connect to the web interface through my phone on my network but not my laptops or desktop which are all on the same network as the phone. That must mean that my computers are blocking the connection in some way. Seems really strange as I have my fire walls down.
