Do i have to create a guest account? What are you trying to do? If you are using Connect, the first thing you need to do is link your account to a local user.

all4dom 26 Posted September 11, 2017 I would ask u a question on that but i am unable to get port forward working. Very frustrating. I used the canuseeme site to sewe if my port is open and I am still getting an error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest asrequested Posted September 11, 2017 And then for Emby Connect, as Happy says, you need to link your account. It's pretty easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy2Play 3788 Posted September 11, 2017 The dashboard is showing the right external ip address correct? Are you using a vpn? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
all4dom 26 Posted September 11, 2017 For port forwarding, I used the wan number & tcp & 8096.I did this for my router. I then looked up how to allow access in the windows firewall & I setup that to allow access.I am not using a vpn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
