GC4LyFe 0 Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 So I get up today and all of a sudden nothing can connect locally. I mean I can use the PC that the server is running on to connect but any other devices that are on the network cannot connect to it whatsoever.
Happy2Play 9782 Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Sounds like a firewall issue if no other local device can connect.

Thanks! I tried this already and nothing worked. I cannot go into the router because I dont have the admin rights to do that. The thing is there's someone else who's been using Emby same as me and they have no issue and we're on the same network.
Luke 42080 Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 So you have no control over your own router? Who is the admin of that?
Angus Black 5 Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) ... but any other devices that are on the network cannot connect to it whatsoever. Do you mean other devices can't connect to Emby specifically or can't connect to the computer that the Emby server is on. Meaning, other computers can't see shared files, folders or printers? Have you rebooted the computer? Always step 1 in the IT world, especially with Windows. Edited February 16, 2019 by Angus Black
GC4LyFe 0 Posted February 16, 2019 Author Posted February 16, 2019 So you have no control over your own router? Who is the admin of that? The campus IT admins. The weird thing is I can use another media server application and it'll work but not Emby.
Luke 42080 Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Ok if this is all inside the LAN network, then this suggests that you may want to focus on the firewall on your server machine, as that may be blocking it.
Happy2Play 9782 Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 What inbound firewall rules do you have for "emberserver"? (private, public) Is your network profile set to private or public?
GC4LyFe 0 Posted February 16, 2019 Author Posted February 16, 2019 What inbound firewall rules do you have for "emberserver"? (private, public) Is your network profile set to private or public? Inbound Rules are set to default haven't touched it and network profile is set to public.
Happy2Play 9782 Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Inbound Rules are set to default haven't touched it and network profile is set to public. Do you not see a private and public firewall rule? As my setup would be blocking on a Public network. Your neteork should be Private. Well it would appear to be a Campus network. To me no different then the coffee shop. Edited February 17, 2019 by Happy2Play

Luke 42080 Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 When you try to connect from another device, how exactly are you trying to do that?
GC4LyFe 0 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Posted February 17, 2019 When you try to connect from another device, how exactly are you trying to do that? I'm using the in-home LAN access IP.
Luke 42080 Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Occasionally the server can detect this incorrectly. Are you sure this is the correct ip address of your server machine?
GC4LyFe 0 Posted February 18, 2019 Author Posted February 18, 2019 Occasionally the server can detect this incorrectly. Are you sure this is the correct ip address of your server machine? Positive. I'm even coping and pasting the given IP to ensure it inst me making a mistake by typing it in.
Solution Happy2Play 9782 Posted February 18, 2019 Solution Posted February 18, 2019 Have you verified the machines ip is the same that appears on the dashboard? 1
GC4LyFe 0 Posted February 18, 2019 Author Posted February 18, 2019 Have you verified the machines ip is the same that appears on the dashboard? They aren't the same. I JUST tried it AND IT WORKED. I swear I'd hug you if I could right now! Thanks for the troubleshooting guys!
Happy2Play 9782 Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Sounds link you might need to set the "Bind to local network address" then. Dashboard-Advanced
