UMS no longer appearing on any devices [SOLVED]

Post by DocHobo »

Haven't used the server in a while but when I went to go use it on the xbox one, I noticed it was missing. Tried the ps4 as well and it didn't appear there either. I've tried updating java, uninstalling and reinstalling UMS, re-disabled windows firewall (thanks for turning it back on without my permission microsoft), but nothing I do seems to work. UMS can see the xbox as a renderer though

This must be the network problem. Try to reset all network devices (routers, switches, hubs). This sometimes happen also to me and after reseting it works again.

EDIT: I found the problem. UMS uses address

Code: Select all

172.20.181.209, name:eth0 (Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter)
not the

Code: Select all

192.168.1.6, name:eth7 (Killer e2200 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20) #2)
which is the same subnet like your XboxOne using address

Code: Select all

192.168.1.2
Every renderers and the UMS must use the same subnet addresses means either the UMS or XboxOne has wrong setting.

ah, so it defaulted to the wrong network adapter at some point? weird, but at least that's an easy fix. after changing the "force networking on interface" setting and resetting the router, everything seems to be working now, thanks!
