only works on this PC — phones, TVs and consoles cannot reach it Windows keeps its built-in Linux on a private network of its own, so the addresses above resolve from this PC and nowhere else. Anything else on your home Wi-Fi will fail to connect no matter what is typed in. It is not a wrong password, a bad user account or a Jellyfin fault — the device never gets there. I've been getting this message since i upgraded. Before I had no message and no problem

Hi! Good news — nothing broke on your box. That warning is new, not a regression: v1.6.466 added a check that detects when Windows/WSL2 is running your SparkBox in "NAT mode," where the address SparkBox hands out only routes back to the PC itself. That was likely always true for your setup — it just wasn't being flagged before, so it looked fine as long as you only tested from the same PC. The message itself lists your two fixes: the cleaner one is switching WSL2 to mirrored networking (add networkingMode=mirrored to a .wslconfig file in your Windows user folder, then wsl --shutdown and re-run sudo sparkbox up) which gives the box your PC's real home-network address so every device can reach it. If mirrored mode doesn't stick (or you're on Windows 10), the message also gives you netsh portproxy commands as a fallback. Let me know if you hit a snag on either path!
