Unable to connect new macbook to plex web (migrating from windows laptop)

Plex Players
1

Server Version#: 1.32.5.7318
Player Version#: app.plex.tv or player of server.

Setup

  • Plex server runs on a windows 10 pc, wired on the LAN (IP:192.168.1.29:32400) - static IP address on router.
  • DHCP external IP address from ISP.

Problem
I’ve got a macbook (first time macos, moving from windows) , but am unable to connect to the client (via https://app.plex.tv or http://192.168.1.29:32400.).
I can still connect directly on my windows laptop , via both methods.
Sometimes it fails completely, otherwise it is connecting indirectly.

After enabling nat-forwarding, the app.plex.tv can’t find the server at all, http://192.168.1.29:32400 times out.

FYI, I can access my qbittorrent webui (http://192.168.1.29:8080) .

Any ideas?
