Server Version#:4.34 Player Version#: Just moved and have no internet for 2 weeks. LOCAL NETWORK is up, but I cant access plex from any Smat device on the lan. Also, I tried specifying the local lan on the network tab, 192.168.0.1/24. IS that right, I dont see any examples in my searches. Or do they want it entered this way: 192.168.0.1/255.2555.255.0? When I check the remote tab this what ip is assigned on the inside interface it does not show one. Sorry for the typos. Using my cell phone ---

Here’s some good read on using Plex without internet and the related caveats > [@\[HowTo\] Use Plex with No Internet](https://forums.plex.tv/t/howto-use-plex-with-no-internet/383325): > > I’ve seen far too many posts regarding “can’t connect to Plex with no internet”, and an uprising/outcry always ensues. It eventually settles down, but the lack of single point resources can be frustrating. I’ve been there, no internet - can’t google anything from a computer so a phone will have to do, but navigating through results and trying “solutions” can be daunting. I’m creating this How-To to help alleviate those posts and help everyone access their servers when the net is down. Couple of … ---

Thanks. Still working through this… should I see a local ip in plex? I can access via a browser. ![20201107_180007](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/9/4/94bc694d439312d288f160cfe9b1faa27acc25ce.jpeg) # **Mod-Edit:** Fixed picture integration ---

You should if the server is running natively on your Windows. You might want to enable the remote access (big yellow button at the top of that settings page) ---

It’s best to enter it as a range (i.e. 192.168.0.0/255.2555.255.0.) Regarding seeing Unknown IP, try fully shutting down the Plex Server (the program/app, not the device itself, unless you want to) and restarting. That’s fixed that specific thing for me before. Like tom80H said I would also enable remote access, that may be a factor here but I’m not sure because I always have it on. ---

Thanks so much! I literally just posted a question on this very subject only moments before finding your post. ---
