Firewall blocks connection via IP, but hostname works

So I have a problem that I cannot connect to a device's web configuration page using it's IP-address, but I can with its hostname. With firewall killed, both work. Firewall logs show blocked entries about netbios and uoipservice.exe, so I think it might have something to do with them. Any ideas? Google helps only with the exact opposite situation.

I can ping both with firewall on. And pinging hostname reveals same IP

Also, if I disable internet connection (wifi) completely, or connect using my personal hotspot, then everything works.
