justinrh 174 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 My Android tablet is connected to the guest wifi, so it is on a diff subnet (192.168.101) from the server (192.168.1). The server network settings have the local nets restricted to the server's subnet. Launch the app, it finds my Emby server. I poke the button - get: "Connection Failure" unable to connect to the server ... If I 'add server' and point it to my external domain, it connects and works. What should I make of the local connection situation? embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, try removing the restrictions that you've added on the server and see if that helps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinrh 174 Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 That does allow me to connect, but what I find strange is that though the server was found, it wouldn't let me connect. If I couldn't connect because of my network settings, should the server even have been found? What makes this more strange is that I didn't expect my tablet to find the server at all since guest wifi is blocked from being able to connect to the LAN ("intranet").

Luke 37009 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 The local server discovery uses a different protocol so that's why it was still able to find it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinrh 174 Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Luke, can you expound on this? You changed the post title to "Question about my server network settings" (please stop doing that!). This implies I have a network setting that caused this. 1) What network setting allows bypass the router rules? 2) Does this mean that people on the Internet call also discover my Emby server?

Luke 37009 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Quote 1) What network setting allows bypass the router rules? In Emby Server? Nothing if it's stopped at the router level.
