NPVR No Longer Acessible From LAN

[4zm4r3d02]

I don't use NPVR very often, and it has been working fine for some time. Just now when I tried to access the web server from another pc on my LAN it kept timing out. I tried stopping and restarting the recording service on the pc hosting NPVR, I tried rebooting all machines, but nothing helped.

I know the server is accessible from the other machines because it returns pings. I know the ip address is correct because I set the router to assign the addresses statically so they don't change.

There are two other web servers running on the NPVR machine, one for Agent DVR and one for SABNZBD and they are both accessible at that ip at their respective port numbers.

The server is accessible from the machine it is running on via web browser at both LOCALHOST:8866/index.html and at the assigned IPv4 address of the server.

It is not asking for passwords when attempting to access it from other machines, the connection is timing out.

NPVR version 7.0.1.241229

The server is running on Windows 10 Pro 22H2 build 19045.5371 experience pack 1000.19060.1000.0

I would start by checking any firewall, virus programs or VPN you have on the server and the client.

Somehow my network was set to Public instead of Private. I have no idea how it got changed. Putting it back fixed the problem with NPVR. Hopefully it didn't break something else!

I've been doing lots of "experiments" with this machine over the years and it's gotten kind of weird. I've had VMs in Hyper-V and it's got Ubuntu in wsl, and now there are numerous virtual "switches" in the network adapter settings. I guess I should do a refresh or something to try to clear it out but I loathe having to redo everything, which I guess I'll have to do anyway when they discontinue supporting Win 10.
