Can't Get New Access Key

<< < (2/2)

JimH:
Did you try rebooting both machines?

Awesome Donkey:
If I had to guess, the Windows Firewall is blocking it at the MC32 server machine. Usually after installing a new MC version it prompts for network access when Media Network is enabled, did it do this? You can try disabling and re-enabling Media Network to see if it prompts for access or going into the Windows Firewall settings and making sure mediacenter32.exe is allowed with outbound and inbound connections for port 52199.

The Windows client is working fine (and has been rebooted).  Media Network is not enabled on the client.
The problem is on the docker based server.  Nothing happens when I try to get  a new access key.  The container has been stopped and started, the firewall and AV have both been turned off.  None of these made any difference.

Richard Martin:
Well this is very odd. I thought of one last thing to try, turn off the firewall on my router and try again. Before turning it off I logged on to the server to prepare to request a new access key. There was a key there.
I logged in to my client and connected to the server using the key.

I wonder if when I thought nothing was happening it was just taking a long time and there was nothing in the UI to indicate this.
