When I access plex web on windows 1, all the attempts to access details results in the message **Server settings are unavailable**

I have 2 window PCs, only run one at a time. On one Pc I can access server settings, on the other I receive the message **Server settings are unavailable**

Any assistance would be appreciated, I am not a Plex guru.

No luck using the above.  
I noticed that the server has a green check mark next to REMOTE ACCESS

The correct server is selected, next to the server name is a green circle w/something inside  
If I click on the server name, both servers names display  
One shows ‘unavailable’ with a red triangle  
The other is the correct server, a gold check and a the green circle  
Underneath is displayed ’ Nearby’  
Remote access is a green check mark  
Everything under the settings tab displays ‘Server settings are unavailable’

I have 2 PCs with plex server running, usually one at a time.  
They both use the same wireless router to connect to Roku.  
They both access the same video files (over 1,000 files)

The videos work fine via Roku with both PCs, the problem is just the  
**Server settings are unavailable** on one.

What is

```auto
