This is what I put in http://192.1**.0.1:8096

I just noticed this in your first post.  The .1 at the end is usually your routers addresses.  Definitely not right.  Also, 192.168.#.# addresses are not publicly addresses-able so no need to censor it.

Thanks for the reply. Can I just say I seem to have the oddest set up here. I bought my PC online from a company that went bust not long after I'd purchased it. In the Network settings I have Ethernet Unidentified Network Intel ® Gigabit Network Connection  Ethernet 2 Network Killer E2500 Gigabit Ethernet Controller and Local Area Connection 10 Microsoft Wifi Direct Virtual Adapter. Over the years I've never known if everybody has this in their set up or even which is my true computers IP address. Using ipconfig I have used every internet address I see one after the other into JellyFin on my TV where is asking to connect to the JellyFin server. At the end of every ip address I've used either :8096 or :8920 and still no joy. What a pickle I'm in.

The particular NIC you have has zero bearing on whether Jellyfin works or not.

Can you describe your Jellyfin server?  What OS is it running?  I'm assuming some version of Windows.  Is Jellyfin running on your PC and is it allowed through your firewall?

Click on Start > type "resource monitor" > click on the "Network" tab > expand the "Listening Ports" table.  Find jellyfin.exe on port 8096.  The column on the far right is the "Firewall status" column.  What is in that column for jellyfin.exe on port 8096?
