After a new install of BI I can't get the UI3 to work (viewing BI on PC on same network). Anybody with a solution to this problem?

Ensure you network is set as private in windows rather than public.

Jeez, this is coming up more and more...Windows Update just can't prevent itself from breaking something. :facepalm:

While it has happened on its own, he may have reinstalled windows with the BI install.... The other recent case installed a new router so that's expected as well as Windows defaults to public

I've had Win 11 change it from private to public just by reinstalling the NIC drivers!
I guess any time the connection is deleted and/or restored the network properties will come up in public (treated as "new").

This makes sense... Because window sees it as a new network.

The last 6 months this has been an initial "go to" for scrutiny when a client suddenly has no Internet or no LAN server access after months of everything working fine.

That is why I create my own Windows Firewall rule allowing TCP port 81 (BI web server) for all interface types (public/private/etc). If the network changes type for any reason, it doesn't block the traffic I care about.

Network is set to Home Network, always has been. I'm getting the "404 not found" error message

404 not found means you are reaching a web server, but the web server could not find the file you requested. It is possible you are actually reaching some other web server that is not Blue Iris, or your URL in the address bar could be bad. Without more information we have no way of knowing.

+1^^.

Sounds like Windows 7. My I ask.....
  • BI server LAN IP address, including port as on the BI settings > web server page?
  • IP address of the other PC on the same network?
  • URL that is coming back 404?
They're all private IP's so it's OK to reveal: my BI server is 192.168.200.250:81. :cool:

Yes, I am running Windows 7 and my BI version is 4.8.6.3. All computers are on the same network. Check screenshot for more info.

I would, however, redact my WAN IP.....

And the URL that is coming back 404 is....
Code: 
http://192.168.1.146:82
 
We have seen strange things happen when people start changing port numbers.

Try the default port 81 and see what happens.
