server connection - sailor842 - 2024-02-13
I am new here.
I am trying to use Jellyfin in place of Plex.
I have downloaded Jellyfin to my computer (Blackview), using Windows 11 and am hooked to my server/router via LAN (Arris Surfboard).
I keep getting "connection failure"
Windows is a fresh install with all of the updates.
I have also gone into Windows firewall advanced settings & created new inbound & outbound TCP8096 ports.
Multiple reboots of the computer, router & Jellyfin to no avail.
Reading through all of the methods doesn't seem to help.
I know that I am missing a step. But which one?
BTW: I did get Jellyfin setup started on my TV but get the same errors
The IP code to get to my router is:162.168.0.1 is that what I am supposed to use?

You're supposed to use the IP of your computer. Not the router.

I've finally gotten the IP address to be accepted.
Then I couldn't figure how to log in until I tried "lost password"
this took me to the screens needed to finish my setup.
Kinda a back door way, but whatever...it worked
thanks for the help.
