Can Not Connect via Web Browser in Repetier-Server 1.4.17

So I upgraded to the newest version of RepetierServer(1.4.17 Vishnu-91)  running on linux kubuntu 24.04. I can start RS on local host on the linux pc, but when I try and connect from my windows machine I get the web "~this site can not be reached" error. I can ssh into the kubuntu pc from my windows machine I can shut the RS service down in SSH and see RS in the linux machine shutdown. I can get to the old version of RS .93-Caster-52,(different IP address), a completely different linux pc. So i believe there is something with the RS service not broadcasting its webservice. I allowed a ufw rule for the windows machine through ssh.  Oh I can get to the internet on the linux box, so I don't think its a internet access or networking issue. What am I missing?

  • Dang-it, I fixed it...right after I posted this message, so typical :D . The problem was the ufw firewall in Kubuntu...I needed to add the range of IP address with the /24.  I originally used just a single IP....but it is working correctly now....I love this software I have grown my farm to 10 printers...
  • The UFW firewall setup on your Kubuntu system was the cause of the problem. By default, UFW might prevent other networked devices from connecting. Allowing connections from within your local network range will fix this. 

    You can achieve this by running the following command in your terminal:

    bash
    sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.0/24 to any port 3344

    Replace `192.168.1.0/24` with your actual local network range, if it differs. All devices on your local network can now access the Repetier-Server's web interface on port 3344 thanks to this command. 

    After updating the firewall rules, you should be able to access the Repetier-Server web interface from your Windows machine. To apply the changes, don't forget to reload the firewall:

    bash
    sudo ufw reload

    It's great to hear that you've resolved the issue and have successfully expanded your printer farm!
