Hi
So you're on the same LAN and you're trying to connect to the external IP
address?
Have you tried connecting to the internal address instead of the external
address ( will be a 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x or 192.168.x.x number). You won't
be able to connect to the external IP address from within the LAN.
Hope this helps.
