Can't access Emby http remotely (same network)

[rhodges 49]

One the same server, I can access http://x.x.x.x:8096 just fine. If I try that on a different computer (same network, plugged into the same switch) it won't work. If on the remote computer I used https://x.x.x.x:8920 it works.

 

Very odd. It seems like it would be network related but I'm not sure what has changed. I only noticed it misbehaving today. I can telnet into it on 8096 and it connects but a web browser will just spin and eventually timeout.

 

Version 3.0.5915.0

 

I disabled nod32 on the "client" and that didn't help. I verified the firewall is disabled on the server.

 

I tried it on the latest Chrome and IE Edge. I don't have a different computer to try it on yet. It seems like it has to be my computer but what, I don't know.

For me, the interesting part is that on my computer, if i access it with SSL, it works just fine. Also, my router running HAProxy with an SSL certificate that terminates SSL and proxys to the HTTP (not ssl) works just fine. On the server itself, it responds on the ip:port.

 

I haven't tried another computer inside my network, but my one computer just won't acess it on http. I tried disabling AV, I tried different browsers, and even changed the http port number. I turned on fiddler, and I don't see any connection errors, just hanging. If I hit stop on the browser, I get some tokenized $SOMETHING type things on the screen, and inside the Emby logs, it is receiving the request, but something is just refusing to let it talk to my desktop.

 

I will see if another computer fairs any better (I expect it will, because my router can talk to it on that IP/port without error). The thing is, it was working great. I don't know if a windows update or nod32 (even though I disabled it) happened. It is hard for me to believe it is Emby causing the issue, but until I point another computer at it, I haven't a clue.

It was NOD32 that was the problem. Even pausing protection or turning of the web stuff didn't fix it.
