Unable to force an IP

[CrendKing]

Downloaded 5.1.3 to try if I can expose the server to Internet, so that I can use something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... noid&hl=en(UPnPlay) to play. At General Configuration -> Network settings -> Force IP of the server I enter my public domain name. Restart the server. Found this in log:

Code: Select all

06-02 22:09:39  Using forced address <public_domain>
06-02 22:09:39  Created socket: <public_domain>/<public_ip>:5001
06-02 22:09:39  Another program is using port 5001, which UMS needs.
06-02 22:09:39  You can change the port UMS uses on the General Configuration tab.

If I remove the forced IP then everything works fine.

I want to change this because the fetch XML uses my LAN IP. I understand VPN or http://www.bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver/(BubbleUPnP Server) is more recommended ways, but I really don't want extra stack. Is this a bug or intentional?

I really appreciate if UMS could 1) allow Internet access (security would need enhancement though); 2) better web interface (https://plex.tv/(Plex) is good example).

Something else is sitting on port 5001. Change it to the other one.
It can be also old javaw.exe process so be sure you don't have more UMS servers started (more javaw.exe processes running)

Any port leads to the same result. I checked with Process Hacker/Explorer that such port is not used. Pretty sure either a bug or intentional.

BTW, I'm using on Windows 8.

It can be also firewall/antivirus
You can also try:

Code: Select all

netstat -ano|find ":5001"

If nothing is returned it means nothing is listening on port 5001. If anything is returned, last number is process id which sits there

Changed to a random port like 57814 and netstat -ano | find ":57814". Empty result.

Also tried the Linux version, same problem.

Can you actually not be able to reproduce my problem?

If there is notning running on defined port but UMS say it is not available then you lack of permissions on system or firewall/antivirus is blocking it.
