Can't open port 8080 through Windows Firewall
I have some home automation software (HomeSeer) running on a W10 machine on my network that has a web interface running on port 8080. I want to access this from other machines on the network. I couldn't access it by default so I created an inbound rule on Windows Firewall for TCP port 8080. But it still won't connect from other machines on the network. I know the problem is on the host W10 machine because when I temporarily turn off the firewall on that machine I can access the web interface from the other machines. For the rule I tried private only, and private+public+domain, and same result. How can I troubleshoot this?
