[QUOTE="joz, post: 499755, member: 70244"] Hey citizenkeys, I do not know why, because that's a question you should ask a dev but I can comeup with 2 solutions for you; 1) Use 127.0.0.1 (internal loopback IP, same as localhost) 2) Use a static IP address for your (TV)server. Me personally would go with option 2. A server should have a static IP, DHCP is just for users who don't know anything about networks or just for convenience (like when devices get connected constantly to the LAN). A server should just have a proper setup and be left alone. A part of that is having a static IP. [/QUOTE]
