Installation on x86: Remote Computer won't connect

Installation
1

Hello… I just followed How to Install HomeAssistant on a PC (Easy!) - YouTube to install HA on a refurbished Dell Optiplex 2050 (exactly what he shows). I’m not able to connect to the supervisor page on a remote computer. However, I can connect to the observer page. I’m baffled. Installed everything fresh tonight. So, it’s all current versions. I’ve booted and rebooted everything. I’m hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

I’ve tried: homeassistant.local:8123, http://homeassistant.local:8123, 192.168.1.82/24:8123, and 192.168.1.82

Any advice? Thanks.

Can you confirm that the device is actually on your network?
http://homeassistant.local:8123 or 192.168.1.82:8123 or http://192.168.1.82:8123
should be correct if it is on your network at this address 192.168.1.82

Yes, I looked it up on my router admin page, also. It shows homeassistant with that IP address. It’s odd because I can access the observer page, but not the supervisor. The observer page shows everything ‘green’ and working. I’ve verified the IP address and port several times. I’m at a complete loss.

What is shown on the screen when you boot up?

192.168.1.82/24 is not an ip address, it is an ip range. Try 192.168.1.82:8123

I tried your suggestion without the /24. That still isn’t working.

I completely started over… reinstalled everything. It’s working now. I’m not sure what the problem was. Thanks for checking it out and trying to help me find a solution. I appreciate it.

I’m new here, but I’m familiar with this problem from many other installations (Windows, Linux) as soon as IPv6 is involved somewhere.
Not against IPv6, but in a home network, in my unbiased opinion, IPv6 causes more problems than benefits…
