Hey y’all I’m struggling at Jellyfin (again)

A few months ago I tried setting up one using a chrome book running Linux mint and had no luck. I’m trying again on my windows PC and I still have no luck. I have read 10 guides and had no luck. I am sure I am using the correct IP, my port is correct, my firewall has the rule to allow the port. What’s going on and how do I fix it? Thanks for any help

    +1 to this.

    First check that you can get to Jellyfin on your Jellyfin server itself (start with the IP address). This makes sure that the service is running, and that you are trying to access the right port/protocol.

    If that works, try the web browser on your phone or any other device on your network next. If that fails it tells you there are firewall or DNS issues.
