Willow bootloops as it cannot connect to WAS

[kevdliu]

Decided to try out the fancy new WAS today but I'm having trouble getting willow to boot after flashing the image generated by WAS. I pulled the below logs from the willow console:

So it looks it's failing to connect to WAS? I was able to connect to the WAS websocket using Postman with the same ws://192.168.1.230:8502/ws address so I'm not sure why Willow is failing to.

Wait it might be a firewall issue on my end. I'll double check and report back.

OK I fixed the firewall issue but still seeing the same errors. I was able to open a websocket connection to WAS from another computer on my LAN should it shouldn't be the firewall blocking it anymore.

Final update: It ended up still being an issue with my firewall. I wasn't sure which executable specifically was being blocked so I just added a rule to allow all traffic through port 8502. Works great now!
