Sigh, I hate not being able to work these things out myself. This seems like the same issue everyone new's gonna be having, but I've tried hunting through threads all morning to the best of my ability and nothing I've come across has helped yet.
Installed JF on my Windows 10 PC. All other devices are so far on the same local network. I have enabled "Allow remote connections" in the settings as I understand other devices on the same LAN are considered remote connections.
I have port forwarded 8096, (and eventually 1900 and 7359 as I got more desperate) both incoming and outgoing through Windows Firewall.
The IP address of the server computer is 192.168.2.34. This computer can of course see JF if I go to this IP address or localhost:8096 in chrome.
My android phone says the site can't be reached if I try http://192.168.2.34:8096, it just times out.
The JF app on my Roku stick successfully shows the server in the server list, however it will not connect to it (says "Server not found, is it online?"), nor will it when I manually enter the IP address. Interestingly in the server list it shows the IP address as 127.0.0.1:8096. Neither this nor 192.168.2.34:8096 work.
So basically I've forwarded every port I can think of as being important, allowed remote connections, tried enabling IPv6 as well, and toggled on/off automatic port mapping. Nothing I do will let my phone or TV Roku successfully connect to the server.
Is there anything obvious I'm missing?
