Can't connect android devices on local network to server. Other devices can connect.

ARP tables can be cached. May not be the latest info your PC has about what's on the network anymore (i.e STALE).

Code:

ip -s neigh

is a better bet for a more accurate info on what's immediately reachable by your computer.


The fact you're not able to ping your phone could mean your phone's not on the same network at that moment. Check your phone's wifi. Does it have an IP address configuration as per your router's specs ?
Are you able to see your phone on your router's admin panel ?

Are you trying to connect to jellyfin server using the app on your phone ? Can you try to connect to jellyfin using your phone's browser by typing in the jellyfin server's http://LAN-IP:PORT ?

I am on windows 10, so I don't think I have the "ip" command.
But I tried using netsh > interface ipv4 > show neighbors, as well as powershell Get-NetNeighbor commands.
They both show the phone's IP address. But the first time I ran the command it showed as "Unreachable" state. Tried a 2nd and 3rd time and it showed "Stale".

I have tried using the chrome browser instead of the app on my phone, didn't work either. Based on the messages in the app, I think it tries to connect to both http and https.

The router is 192.168.1.1. All the ips of my PC, laptop, phone etc are showing as 192.168.1.X.
As I mentioned in the post unfortunately I cannot physically access the router or router settings, it is controlled by the landlord.

I'm not sure what else it could be. Everything seems to show they are on the same network. I don't know why it is showing unreachable or stale.
I tried the same commands from my laptop and got it to say "reachable" one time, although ping never worked. But then it immediately went back to probe and then stale.

Are you using a reverse proxy?

I don't think so? This is all just on my home network, WiFi LAN.
