i am having trouble accessing genmon generator monitoring rasburry pi unit

rax20 running version 1.0.11.112_2.0.77

 

i have a raspberry pi monitoring device called Genmon on my whole house generator.

 

it is generating an ip address, that i can see on my router and has assigned correctly. The raspberry unit sends an email showing the address, and i can find that address using FING and also as an allowed device on my router.

 

however, when i try to access that device by typing the

 

ipaddress:8000

on the internet browser line, i get CONNECTION HAS TIMED OUT

 

instead of my web interface program.

 

everything worked ok until i rebooted the router.

    It might help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The make and model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?

    The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.

        Any chance that you could explain what the issue was an how you fixed it?

         

        There are lots of Pi eaters here. I'm sure they would welcome your insights.
