Recently I had to replace my cable modem. This involved a change of the subnet mask. We used to have 192.168.0.xxx and now all the IP addresses in my network start with 192.168.178.xxx, including my FreeNAS server. It seems to work okay now, except I can't set the service status of Plexmediaserver to ON. Each time I try, it lets me wait a while and then it gives the not so helpful "Some error occurred".
So I needed another IP address for my Plex jail which resulted in some confusion with my password manager. I created a new Plex user and the server started reindexing all the movies. Then I discovered my previous user name and password in my password manager. I successfully logged in, only to find that my jail couldn't be accessed. I suspect that it is in use by the newly created user, or it still tries to connect to the old 192.168.0.xxx address.
On my Apple TV, I get connected to my old user automatically. I prefer to keep on using my old user login because it knows which movies I've seen. But even if I would want to use my new user credentials, I don't know how to switch to them on my Apple TV.
