I forget exactly how I set mine up but it was either by allowing specific IP addresses to talk to each other one way, or a combo of that and enebling mDNS of some sorts (which is something I think you have to enable for things like Google speaker on an adjacent local network). Obviously, you will find better info on a forum dedicated to your router…

Thanks Sam. Oddly turning off firewall is yielding the same results.

Not sure the problem…

Thank you for the reply. After adjusting the address to “0.0.0.0” and adding my IP, I’m in a holding pattern of blank screen and curser, and no connection to the http://192.168.xxx.xxx:8080/remote.html website.

address set to “localhost”, means only apps INSIDE the same machine can connect

changing to “0.0.0.0” (all adapters) means SOME systems outside the MM machine can connect,
and ipWhitelist give a list of address masks to test if those systems are allowed

for easy access , and no security for anyone on your local lan/wifi), address:“0.0.0.0” and ipWhiltelist:[] will allow anyone on your lan/wifi to connect to the MagicMirror application
