At this point i believe auto port mapping. I did take a look in my Nest settings and i did have two things in there, for the other desktop pc, and i tried adding them for the new one but they fail to save, i dont remember how/what i did for the first ones as it was likely 4-5+ years ago. I also cant edit these to see how exactly i submitted them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8282 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I will guess the server log has portmapping errors correct? Have you restarted the Nest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you restarted the Nest? i have not checked server log, i honestly wouldnt know how to understand it. i have restarted the nest, unplugged it and modem for 30 sec and plugged back in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8282 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 So the two entries in port management are for the old system correct? If so you are sort of stuck until you clear those from the router or possibly change ports in Emby and if automatic portmapper can secure the ports on the router otherwise will need to manually port forward.

psycoticinsane 3 Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 yes they are, but this new system, has the same exact system name, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went in to nest settings, and removed thos forwarding rules, and added these three in place And then i tried accessing emby from my phone, through cell service not connected to wifi and i was able to connect. Hopefully this will resolve the issues, and all thats left is to get all my users logged back in! I appreciate the help and information that led to (tenatively) ironing this out.

Sort of as you go 8096 correct but 8920 is wrong but is only needed if you add SSL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lessaj 59 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Yes both of your 8920 rules should be removed, you're not using SSL (but you really should for external access) so no point trying to redirect 8920 to 8096 when 8096 already has a rule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i tried setting up ssl at one point but it was over my head and i ended up giving up. But as of now i removed the two 8920 rules and left the 8096 and all is well. My users are able to access remotely, as am I. Thank you again to all who offered help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But glad you are all set now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lessaj 59 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Yes the MAC address is different. I guess that's how it's doing it instead of IP, or maybe a combination of both since it said "Not available" on the old entries but new entries have the IP and MAC.
