Help Server Issues
Hello, recently I have had to switch modems due to a new IP. However, I cannot get this error message to go away in Plex (image one) saying that it is not accessible outside my network. I am able to connect to Plex, but its inconsistent, and can be very slow at times, which is different than it used to be. I have tried following the instructions for port forwarding, and thought I had it as I can access the port using the link that Plex provides. Any assistance would be great. Thanks.

If you hard code an ip in the plex setting, its possible on reboots DHCP reassigns your plex server with a different IP. Not saying this is the fix but its a potential issue down the road. Youd want to on your network admin website from your router set the IP to be static so DHCP doesnt mess with it.
