Don 2 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 What kind of router do you guys use? I'm asking because my ISP just sent me a new one. I had a Motorola Surfboard. Everything worked great. Now I have a Netgear WNDR3800. Everything works well with this one except....Media Browser. I can't use it on any machine other than the one the server is installed on. Please if anyone can offer any help I would really appreciate it. It's been 24 hours now and I'm already going into MB withdrawals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven 136 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 You can use every router for it. I don't know how good you are with network configs? You didn't install it in a DMZ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Use a Netgear WNDR4300 as my upstairs router and haven't had a problem with it. What doesn't work exactly in your setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don 2 Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Demilitarized Zone........no I'm in Alabama, we don't have one of those here! lol in all seriousness, what is a DMZ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) The DMZ is pretty much what you think. It is a zone or machine between the internet and your local network that protects you from potential attacks. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMZ_(computing) Edited June 8, 2014 by Wayne Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don 2 Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Like I said, everything works great with this new router except, I can't access the MB server from another machine. I enter 192.168.1.10:8096/mediabrowser/dashboard into the browser and it won't connect. That being the case MB Classic or theater wont connect.

Sven 136 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Do you use wifi or cable? Also, can you ping that machine? Edited June 8, 2014 by Sven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don 2 Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 o, the default DMZ Server box in my router is not checked...if that's what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don 2 Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 I use cable, and yes I can ping the machine. As a matter of fact I can browse to shared folders on that machine from another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) With a new router and depending on how IP addresses are allocated, the .10 might not be correct anymore. For this reason, I use the machine name e.g. \\MediaBrowser-Server\. Then if the IP Address changes for any reason, it can still be found. Edit: Doesn't seem to be the problem with other replies.

Sven 136 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 And it works on the machine itself? Could you turn off the firewall? Just for testing purpose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don 2 Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Firewall off...actually no firewall was blocking it to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don 2 Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Okay, I don't know what I've done but I can now access through MB Theater. Classic as well just very slow. I still can't access the MB Server either by using the IP or the machine name. Very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven 136 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Could you also upload your logs from the server? If you can connect with MBT, it should also work with the webclient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don 2 Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 yes I can try to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don 2 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Okay, I got it. A friend of mine looked at it and I guess I had some kind of thingabob set wrong in the router. thanks for the help guys! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
