Cannot connect to Windows daemon from Windows client

Hello,

I'm running the daemon on a WS2012R2 host, and I can connect to it perfectly fine from the same local machine, but I cannot connect to it from a Win10 machine on the same LAN. I have 'allow remote connections' enabled, I have port 58846 (which I'm using) allowed in the firewall on the host. I can access all other services I have running on the host, including the Deluge WebUI, from the Win10 machine, and I can also connect from the Win10 machine to another daemon I have running on a remote Ubuntu server.

The only thing I can't manage to do is access the daemon that's running on the host 10 feet away.....

Am I just overlooking something really simple here? I've checked and re-checked port numbers/forwarding, firewalls, the auth file, etc, but I'm at wit's end. I don't get any error messages, just the red light under Status in the Connection Manager.

Thanks,

On the server enable the Firewall logging and confirm with a TCP ping utility (suggestion: psping) you can touch the port from the win10
What tells the Firewall log on the server? If the connection attempt is successful the issue is on the Deluge authentication.

Well, I figured it out, but it doesn't make much sense. I previously had a firewall rule to allow all traffic on port 58846, but just for shits I changed it to a rule allowing all traffic for deluged-debug.exe (using debug since it's running as a stoppable service via NSSM).....and for some reason, that did the trick.
