Accessing channels settings on windows-11 channel-server remotely

What settings do I have to set on the windows-11 pc that is running the channels-server, to allow a remote pc on the same network to access that server's settings?

When my server resided on an NVIDIA box, all I had to do is specify the server address and port # and I was able to access the channels-server settings. Now that the server resides on a AZW Mini S running windows 11, I can no longer do that.

Set a DHCP Reserved IP address on your router for the Win-11 PC.
Reboot the Win-11 PC.
Then use that DHCP Reserved IP address to connect to it.

So if it gets assigned 192.168.1.10 you would go to http://192.168.1.10:8089 to access it.

If you are doing as chDVRuser suggests and it's not working, then you need to open the Windows Firewall on your server to allow access to TCP port 8989.

TCP port 8089

Thanks for the responses.

My router already set a reserved address for the server so I will try seeing if the firewall allows access to the port.
