http://192.168.1.3:8096 (this is my server's internal IP)
Okay, i tried mu "internal IP address. It still won't work.
I allowed the app through my Firewall as well. No luck

Since your Jellyfin server is on Windows 10, go to the Windows network settings and check what IPv4 address Windows is assigned. That's the IP address that you need to use to connect to the Jellyfin server.
Keep in mind that there's a thing known as DHCP which a router uses to assign random open IP addresses to connected clients. So you could wake up one day and find that you can't connect to the server anymore because its dynamic IP address has changed.
For server machines, it's best to go into your router and declare a set range of IP addresses as static (won't be assignable by DHCP), then configure the server/computer to use any of those static IPs.
I really wish that I had some idea how to access my router and do all that, but once again not tech savvy at all. I don't even know how to access my routers settings.
