Help Needed: Cannot access Home Assistant via IP or http://homeassistant.local:8123 [Solved]

mDNS needs to be enabled on/across the network where devices are to the HA host and for the network that you are trying to connect from with your PC if different. This should allow for the translation of the HA IP address:8123 to homeassistant.local:8123. Your router should pick that info up and added to it’s local DNS cache.
Make sure you have it set in your network config, check Home Assistant URL and have Local Network set to Automatic.

Thank you for this, I did check the router for the configuration and it does seem to be normal. Also when I type the network command on the command line interface, it shows that its registered on the dns
