after upgrade to 5 can no longer view ui3/webserver

[katamara]

Been using BI 4 for a while. I just upgraded to BI 5 and now I can no longer view the web server from another computer on the lan. I can get to 192.168.x.xxx:81 fine from the BI machine.. but no other computer can see it. The web server is pointed to the BI 5 WWW folder. Tried checking/unchecking use UI3, I used IE, Chrome, Firefox. the connection still times out. I can ping the machine fine.

Probably connected to the same problem:
BI app no longer can get to the BI server
TinyCam Pro cannot see the camera stream

I'm sure I missed a setting somewhere.

Any ideas where I went wrong?

Can you ping the IP address from the other machines?

yes. I can ping from BI PC to all other PC's and vice versa.

Chances are your old Windows firewall rule pointed at BI4's executable. You probably just need to make an exception for TCP port 81 in Windows firewall. Or make an exception for the new Blueiris.exe. Personally I do the TCP/81 rule.

Thank you. It was Windows Firewall. It was pointed to BI4.
