Hi All,
Hoping you can assist me with this. I am currently running PMS on a Synology NAS which has two NICs. One for internal access and the other in a DMZ network for outside access. I recently had to rebuild my firewall at my house, [policy stayed the same], but PMS is picking up the internal IP address as opposed to the external. The NATing and port forwarding are working correctly through my firewall but I cannot seem to force PMS to update its private IP. I have tried disabling the NIC with the internal interface connected to no avail, as well as signed out from all devices, and rebooted. I tried looking to see if there is any sort of xml file of sorts that I can update that information on but was unsuccessful in finding that. Any insight you can offer would be greatly appreciated?
