Plexconnect DNS not working

Guys,

 

All of a sudden yesterday it started, didn't do nothing with my network, server etc. my appletv 3 just couldn't connect to PMS anymore.

 

What i did is update to the latest version of PMS(0.9.7.28-f80a4a2) and the latest version of plexconnect (downloaded it on 5 june 2013), maybe it would help right.. but it did not.

 

Ipadresses that i use, 192.168.0.x range

my router is 192.168.0.1

pms is 192.168.0.62, it's running win 2k8 R2 and the firewall turned off

and my apple tv is DHCP with DNS pointed to 192.168.0.62

 

the only thing in the log file from plexconnect is:

 

13:32:50 PlexConnect: started: 13:32:50

13:32:50 PlexConnect: ***

13:32:50 PlexConnect: PlexConnect

When i'm trying to access the webserver on port 80:

	Error response
Error code 403.
Message: Not Serving Client 192.168.0.130.
Error code explanation: 403 = Request forbidden -- authorization will not help.

 

 

No DNS Request are getting to it..

 

Anyone has an idea?

Go into advanced setting of PMS and uncheck require authentication on local network.

This is good - this is the response from PlexConnect for anything but your aTV.

As for the DNSrequests missing, I have no idea - might be Windows issue? Seems to happen every now and then...
