JRemote not connecting to Media Center over LAN [Solved]
MajorCyco:
Today I was able to connect JRemote to MC when I had my iPhone plugged into my iMac to recharge. I tried to do it over WiFi and was back to timing out. I plugged it back in... and am timing out again.

My guess is that the Mac firewall has changed in some way. Turn the firewall off for a few minutes to test it:
system settings > network > firewall > OFF
Stop MC and restart it. Then test with JRemote again. If that works, it's just a matter of getting the correct exceptions into the firewall. If that does not work, there are other steps to take.

MajorCyco:
I turned off the firewall for five minutes. I closed and reopened MC as well as JRemote. Still timing out.

It's worth checking your network settings at this point. Is the Mac on wifi, or ethernet, or both? You should check the IP address of the Mac and the iPhone. Make sure they are in the same network.
It sounds like something has changed and one or the other is on a different network.
Do you run anything else on the Mac that your iPhone/iPad access over the network? Plex, Emby, etc? Do those work?
Brian.
MajorCyco:
The Mac is on the WiFi and it is on the same network as my and my wife's iPhones/JRemote. My Mac's IP address is shown correctly in JRemote's server settings. When I look at the server response log, it too shows the correct IP address.
JRemote's log shows found 2 connections. The first is my Mac's IP address and second is 068-188-169-030.res.spectrum.com
Spectrum is my ISP. I contacted them and they cannot see any issues from their end. However, they are sending a new router, which should be here Wednesday.
No Plex or Emby, but I am able to do Airdrops over the network with no issues.
I have been using JRemote for years without issue. On Thanksgiving, I tried to use it and it would not connect from any device. Been trying to figure out what changed and how I can get it back.
