Connecting from other computers (windows)

Help & Support
1

I am running Win10. I tried running sonarr as a service, but when I do that, my UNC paths to my server don’t work. I was able to get those to work by setting the service to manual and instead I run sonarr as an administrator using task scheduler. I can connect to sonarr on the computer it is running on by using localhost:8989, 127.0.0.1:8989 and 192.168.1.22:8989 (internal ip of the computer). However, I cannot access it by using any other computer on the network. I have completely disabled Windows Firewall and my network is set as Private in windows. Any advice?

It sounds like Sonarr should be accessible remotely, but running Sonarr once as Admin wouldn’t hurt.

Is there another firewall running on the system?
What do you see when trying to access Sonarr remotely?

I am running Sonarr as an administrator every time it runs.

There is no other firewall (relatively new windows install). When I try to access it remotely, it just times out.

BTW, I can ping that computer just fine.

UAC will prevent it from actually running as admin unless you explicitly run it as administrator (or set it to run as admin) or disable UAC.

What do you get when you run netsh http show urlacl http://*:8989/ via a command prompt?

I am using Task scheduler to run it at “highest privileges” at login. I have also run it by right clicking and choosing “run as administrator”.

Using the command above, I get:

URL Reservations:

Reserved URL                   : http://*:8989/
    User: \Everyone
          Listen: Yes
          Delegate: No
          SDDL: D:(A;;GX;;;WD)

As long as Sonarr is set to listen on port 8989 then it should be set (you can verify Sonarr is listening on http://*:8989/ at startup time in the ((debug logs)) (but it might be ((trace logs))).

((Debug logs)) will also show if Sonarr is receiving a request when connecting from another system, if not something else is blocking it before it reaches Sonarr.

Found the problem. It had to do with my network and not sonarr. Thanks for the help.
