- set Umbrel ip on the router using the Umbrel’s MAC that way you don’t have to worry about static ip in the traditional sense. - make sure the port forwarding/trigger is set correctly, 8333 external port and 9333 internal port ---

Hey..thanks for the advice. Was able to do that actually. Still no luck now trying this > [@How to set a static IP for your Umbrel server](https://community.umbrel.com/t/how-to-set-a-static-ip-for-your-umbrel-server/845): > > I see a lot of users having issues connecting to umbrel.local and most of them are Windows users. I will try to put here some simple steps so everybody can try them. Not having access to your Umbrel doesn’t really means your Umbrel is broken. Means that the PC from where you access it can’t see it in your LAN or in the parameters you configure your LAN. So could be 4 reasons that maybe your Umbrel is not accessible: IP assigned. The IP for the Umbrel is not set fix, or was changed by your D… if you have any more ideas lmk! ---

If you can confirm on your router that Umbrel gets the same IP every time then the only problem is the portforwading part. ---
