@bilaljavaid01 Localhost is a special case. Your Omega2 has a localhost, every one of your Omega2 has a local host. Each of these localhost points to themselves, so if from my machine I try to ping localhost, it will ping my machine, not your Omega2.

If you want any machine to be able to connect to your Omega2, you need to have your flask app listen on the externally accessible IP address, otherwise, no other machine will be able to access it.

Use the command ifconfig to find the externally accessible address you can see here, my IP for the apcli0 interface is 192.168.1.219:

apcli0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 40:A3:6B:C3:22:61  
          inet addr:192.168.1.219  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::42a3:6bff:fec3:2261/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:1629 overruns:0 frame:0

So I would configure my server to listen on that address so other machines can connect to it. Your IP will be something different.
