Resolved - redirect from subsonic.org fails

[tv0571]

With all the power outages recently, I ran into some IP forwarding issues. I noticed that I could no longer reach my subsonic server from <mycomputername>.subsonic.org. My home PC had no problems with <localhost:4040> method. The Settings / Network menu path provides the ability to try to "resave" network settings. That indicated that the router was configured correctly but the "Access your server with easy to use..." status showed that there was "NoRouteToHost".

I logged on to my router as Admin, and noticed that with DHCP running on the router, my iphone had picked up the old subsonic address. The port forwarding table was still setup under the old IP address. Net - the :4040 port was pointing to my iPhone. I deleted the entry and added a new entry to point 4040 traffic to my subsonic server.

Net - don't trust it when it says your router is forwarding properly... it might be forwarding it, but forwarding to the wrong computer on your network.

All seems to be working now.

If your router supports it, create a DHCP reservation and associate it with your computer's MAC address.

Then you will be guaranteed that your computer will always have the same address when on that network without the hassles that come with assigning a static IP address to your computer.

HTH,

I have faced with the same problem. Last days some problems appeared with redirection.
Some strange IP address used to connect to my server.
