Hello everyone,

Ive set this up, disabled firewalls on all devices and routers and am having two issues;

1-no WAN connection from my apple TV at all

2-plexconnect does not see the server running local to it at all

&nbsp;

The only bit of code ive changed in settings is the DNS IP to that of my mac mini (192.168.0.18) which i have also updated in the Apple TV.

Heres what i see in terminal.&nbsp;

Looks like you set the DNSserver to the same ip as as PMS. Leave it at 8.8.8.8 unless you are using a a DNS service of some kind.

Excellent!

thanks for the reply, resetting DNS to 8.8.8.8 and restarting my mac mini did the trick!
