My ipv4 changed and now I can't access Jellyfin from other devices - crambles - 2025-05-07

My ipv4 changed and now I can't access my Jellyfin server from my phone or TV. I did some troubleshooting on my own but so far I haven't been able to find the culprit.

Once I realized my server wasn't working because of the ipv4 change, I opened my router admin panel and updated the port forwarding rules to change the old ip to the new ip. It still didn't work and then I thought maybe the ports were wrong so I added rules with other ports. So now I have 4 entries where I used to have 2. Attached a screenshot of what it looks like now.  [Image: VTSMuyZ.png]

On my computer, http://ipv4:8096 works and http://localhost:8096/ works. They both bring me to my Jellyfin server.

On my phone which is connected to the same wifi network, I tried both of those in the browser and it says "this site can't be reached". I also tried connecting on my phone from the Jellyfin app and it is unable to connect. I've tried stopping and starting jellyfin as well.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I was finally able to figure this out, I needed to go to firewall settings and add a checkbox next to one of the Jellyfin instances and change public to private. Any idea why this might have changed when this used to be working fine?

The best option so it doesn't happen again in the future, set a static IP to server device instead of DHCP.
