I am trying to get plexconnect up and running on windows server 2008. I can start the plexconnect.py and everything seems fine. The issue is to get aTV to connect to the server, Have disabled the firewall in win server 2008, but still no connection. It connects fine if i am running plexconnect on another pc in the network. Any ideas?
Win Server might already run a service on port 80 (http). You got to disable that...

Yes i know that, i have disabled windows web server.
Got it working now, had to add another ip address to the server. The aTV uses the new ip address, the IIS webserver is running on port 8080, router is set up with a virtual server that sends web traffik to port 8080 on the old ip. :D So people connecting to the web can enter the normal address, and not :8080

Well almost working, seems like my internett connection on the aTV fails when doing it this way.
I seem to be having the same problem with WHS2011. I just installed PlexConnect yesterday. Thought I was doing something wrong until I installed it on a Windows 7 computer and everything worked fine.
I turned off firewall and IIS. It shows everything to be working, but when I point my aTV to it, it doesn't connect and just hangs.
I was wondering if anyone ever figured out how to get it working.
Take a look at this thread:

Well, I shut IIS services down, so I don't think that thread helps with that situation.

That was to the op.
If you want help you might want to provide the requested info in the sticky. ;)
At a guess though it might be because of the DNS server you might have running.
I'm not sure what you mean by the requested info into the sticky.
I don't think I have a DNS server running on WHS2011. When I do a "netstat -an", I don't have anything using port 53. When I run plexconnect, it shows that plexconnect is using port 53.
The "how to report a problem" link.
It has a template to fill out which is really useful for solving issues.
Hi LazyAsian, I have PlexConnect running under WHS2011, to get it working I had to do the following 2 things:-
1. Go to IIS Manager, under ‘sites’ make sure there are no sites running on port 80.
2. Go to Windows Firewall and create a new ‘Inbound Rule’ for python.exe to allow it access to the internet.
That fixed it, thanks! Weird, turing off the firewall didn't do anything but turning on an inbound rule for python seemed to have fixed it.
