Network settings for ST through nvidia shield

Does anyone know if the ST stick that plugs into the nvidia shield has different network settings than the base unit? I don’t know if something has changed with the most recent update but I cannot get IP connection devices to connect to it like I could in the past, say ST_ANYTHING I can get my device to receive data but not 2 way comms. My most recent attempt was with a home assistant integration where the logs report connection refused despite what looks to be the correct IP/port combination. Anyone have any ideas? I am a little out of my element here.

Thanks

It shouldn’t, the stick should just essentially be a ZigBee and Z-Wave radio.
