Configuring 2 plex servers in the same Network

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

Server Version#: PC
Player Version#: Latest Version

Im trying to configure 2 plex servers in the same network and im finding difficulty, i dont know whats the reasons , so the problem is that i have already a Qnap on the same network with ip 192.168.0.102 forward to port 32400 , i added another plex server via pc as its server and gave it an ip of 192.168.0.122 and forward it to 32401 and manuly did it in plex but the 2 servers are conflicting i assume or there is a problem coz they’re not working properly.

and yes im maping my Qnap in the pc as a network drive and then connecting plex to it as another individual plex pass

Not “to”, but “from”.
Your port forwarding setup in your router must look like this:
WAN:32401 → LAN 192.168.0.122:32400
i.e. the external (WAN) port number can change, but the internal (LAN) port number must always be 32400

In the configuration page of this Plex server, under ‘Remote access’, you then have to put the external port number into ‘Manually specify public port’ and tick the checkbox, ofc.

yes but when i add another fixed ip address and spefify the port , the system gives an error as shown below

Error code: 14004
The entry already exists or its port is contained by another one

Add where? How? On your router? Which model is it?

Model : TP- Link Archer C9
Configuring the ip adress in Forwarding —> Virtual Servers —> add New port and ip adress , in my router.

i already did it for my Qnap and its working fine now i want to add another server on the same network , but i get the error i just showed in my previous reply

Inspect any existing port forwardings (or ‘virtual servers’, as TP-Link likes to call them). Delete any which are pointing to the internal IP 192.168.0.122 and the internal poort 32400.

Then set up a new port forwarding.
