This is off-topic, but I'm interested since I just installed a brand new Win10 on an old computer that serves as my music server (all it does). So far it's working fine, even with the Windows Firewall on. Is there any reason why a hardware-based firewall, as on my router, isn't sufficient?

I was trying to set a new instance on a new-to-me computer and found it would not work. I eventually twigged to a firewall issue. So, nice to know it is not just my setup.

[slim] Windows 10 Firewall... Players can't connect to LMS... solved?
...just in case someone out there has a config that's worked perfectly well for several years... and all of a sudden things go wrong and your players can't find an LMS server on your network... as just happened to me. I simply turned off the Windows Firewall for my Private Network under "Windows Security > Firewall & network protection" in settings. It is my suspicion the last MSFT security update somehow turned up the firewall security a notch and blocked the players. I am not a fan of the solution, don't quite understand why I suddenly had to it... and configuring firewall exceptions in Windows Firewall or Defender Firewall (they call things different ways depending on how you get to it, it's silly) is still remarkably arcane and user unfriendly... just let me pick an app froma list of running apps, but nah, you got to enable the program files that are buried somewhere in the program directories... But it works again... ...pablo Server: Virtual Machine (on VMware Workstation) running Ubuntu 18.04 + LMS 7.9.1 System: SB Touch --optical->- Benchmark DAC2HGC --AnalysisPlus Oval Copper XLR->- NAD M22 Power Amp --AnalysisPlus Black Mesh Oval->- KEF Reference 1 Other Rooms: 2x SB Boom; 1x SB Radio; 1x SB Classic-> NAD D7050 -> Totem DreamCatcher + Velodyne Minivee Sub Computer audio: workstation --USB->- audioengine D1 -> Grado RS1/Shure 1540 pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113796 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
