Can't reach the webserver of LNM on my tablet

[Herrie]

I read a lot of threads on this issue, even consulted my IT savvy son in law, but to no avail. I still can't reach the webserver of LNM (that is running on my Mac mini M2) on my iPad. Strange thing is that the comparable webserver of WEBFMC works without a problem.

I was hoping that I could get a solution that does not need a lot of knowledge about Terminals and commands. But if that is the only road, I will be grateful.

Hi Herrie,

there is nothing to do in the terminal to fix this. Experience shows that often a firewall is blocking connections for certain applications. This is why WEBFMC can work but not the connection web browser -> LNM. I suspect something blocking LNM accepting connections. This can be even Apple Gatekeeper.

Another problem might be a wrong computer name. You can open LNM menu "Tools" -> "Options" -> page "Web Server". This list several names and IP addresses. Try one of the IPv4 addresses there.

If all else fails create a issue report in LNM menu "Tools" and send it to me (https://albar965.github.io/contact.html).

Yes! It's the firewall after all. 

Thanks!
