Unable to connect from iPad to Media Browser on PC
So my situation is as follows:
- PC (Windows 7) is connected to my router through an ethernet cable (IP 192.168.0.108)
- I have an iPad connected to the same router and I am trying to connect to Media Browser which runs on my PC
- I am using the trial version 1.9.1 (installed a few hours ago) - not sure if this makes any difference
- on the PC, I am able to navigate to http://localhost:23424/mediabrowser and I can see the status of the streaming server as "Running" I can browse my media files as well
- the Serviio DLNA service is also up and running
- Windows firewall is disabled, and I'm not using any other firewall software
- I've tried to disable firewall on my router as well
- From my PC, I am able to ping my iPad
The problem is that when I open Safari on iPad and navigate to http://192.168.0.108:23424/mediabrowser I get a timeout and an error message saying "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". I do not see any relevant messages in the Serviio log file.
I've spent a few hours trying to figure it out and it seems that usually people don't have this kind of problem, so I guess I'm missing something really silly.
