I have Plex Media Server 0.9.8.10.215 running in a jail on my custom FreeNAS box which is running FreeNAS-9.1.1-RELEASE-x64 (a752d35). The box is connected directly to my router via ethernet. The Plex web ui loads fine and I can access it from my internal network, but I cannot figure out how to access Plex from outside my network. I can sign in to myPlex on the server, but I always get the error: "myPlex could not reach your server" when trying to publish the server to myplex.
Checking the "Manually Specify Port" box does not help. I've tried all sorts of port forwarding variations on my router to no avail. I access plex locally by going to http://192.168.1.148:32400/ but forwarding port 32400 to 192.168.1.148 does nothing. Forwarding 32400 to the IP if the FreeNAS interface doesn't work either.
Interestingly, I have transmission running as well, but it did not require any port forwarding to successfully download and upload.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
