I suspect his problem might be that the help form can get incomprehensible pretty quickly if one takes the wrong path, especially if you rush and start with option F, which he did and perhaps he didn’t want to.
At the moment, we don’t have enough information to determine what’s going wrong. The message “Can’t find server” can occur for several different reasons, depending on where and how your Roon Server is running.
To help us move forward, please clarify the following:
Which device is hosting your Roon Server?
(For example: a Windows PC, Mac, Linux machine, NAS, or Roon Nucleus)
Is that device powered on and connected to the same network as your Lenovo laptop?
Are you running:
Roon Server on one device, and
Roon Remote on the Lenovo laptop
or is everything supposed to be running on the same machine?
Are you using any of the following on your network?
VPN software
Multiple routers / mesh extenders
Guest Wi-Fi network
Once we know where your Roon Server is hosted and how your devices are connected, we can advise on the next steps.
We’ll be happy to help once we have this information.
We’re very eager to assist with what sounds like an incredibly frustrating and ongoing issue. However, we’re going to need some more information than what you’ve provided in your initial description in order to take any effective action here as a team.
Don’t worry about filling out any intake forms [as we now have this ticket] - please just describe your problem in a response to this post using whatever degree of technical precision, and we’ll ask any relevant questions to pinpoint the problem from there.
We’ve re-opened this request to ensure that you can receive any support you might still need.
It’s our understanding that you’re still experiencing some ongoing problems with connectivity in Roon.
Can you please briefly describe the current issue you’re facing so we can provide some suggestions?
If security software is flagging Roon as a security risk, you will need to add Roon to the security software’s safelist. Here’s an article outlining those steps for most security:
If you have antivirus software, you will need to add these same items listed in the article above (RoonServer, RoonGoer, RoonAppliance, and RAATServer) to the safelist for the antivirus software.
We are, of course, happy to help with any of these steps.
We’re pinging this thread since we haven’t received a response and we want to ensure you’ve seen our reply above. We’re eager to help ensure you’ve resolved your original request here and have found the assistance you need.
We can see that the OP has submitted several more recent threads but not responded here, so we’re going to close this thread out for housekeeping. Please reach out in a new request here and we’ll reactivate the conversation. Thank you.
