Unable to access Sonarr from another computer on same network

So I run Sonarr on a dedicated HTPC machine that has no monitor. If necessary I remotely access it with TeamViewer. Up until last week I was able to connect into the Sonarr interface via any computer on my network. For whatever reason it stopped working and I cannot figure out why. I am able to connect to Plex, Utorrent, CouchPotato, etc with no issue on the other PC on my network. The computers IP is 192.168.2.100 (I am able to connect to localhost:38082 and 192.168.2.100:38082 on the HTPC but any other PC on the network I cannot.) And yes all my computers are on the same default gateway and subnet.

To be clear, I am only wanting to access it from within my network (LAN).

Sonarr is running on port 38082 and I do have a VPN set up. Again I was able to do this last week for the past few months with no issues.

I’ve already tried

  1. Restart of HTPC
  2. Restart of modem / router
  3. Confirming that the service is “allowed” in windows firewall for particular port #
  4. Stopped the service and manually loaded it with Admin rights

Any idea what could be causing this issue? I don’t know if my router needs the ports forwarded or not.

Error I get: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT (Both chrome and IE)

Thanks in advance

Check and see if your windows network profile/location got changed to “public”. When it does that, it blocks all inbound traffic.
If above is correct, try a telnet (do ‘telnet 192.168.2.100 38082’) / putty (change to telnet in connect type and change port) session and see if you get a response. If it times out, you have a firewall/service/etc blocking it.

Your router doesn’t need the ports forwarded because you are internal.

Also, easiest way to tell if it’s windows firewall - disable it on all profiles.

That’s exactly what it was. Now it makes sense. There was a driver update for my ethernet card which must have wiped out some settings.

For anyone else out there that needs to fix this:

  • Open a command prompt window and type in GPEDIT.MSC
  • Then navigate to:
    Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings >
    Network List Manager Policies
  • Find your network
  • Click on the third tab “Network Locations” and change it to Private.

Thanks for your help LJ

No problem! Windows is getting annoying, isn’t it? :slight_smile:
