I got Bitcoin Knots running and Electrs running and fully sync’d. Everything seems to be working great EXCEPT - mempool 3.2.1~1. It installs fine and passes all the health checks (API, Transaction Indexer, Web Interface). However when I go to Launch the UI, it tells me the DNS address could not be found - see attached screenshot.

I’m running Brave browser and have tried this on Chrome and it doesn’t work there either. The very strange thing is that when I load it from my android phone (also running brave browser) connected via wifi to the same network, the UI loads just fine and it works as expected. Any idea why I can’t get it working on a desktop computer connected to the same interface and also running Brave?

This is not an error with Mempool or with your server. This is an error with your desktop computer. You were able to confirm this by simply using another device. Being unable to access your server from just one device does not mean Mempool is not working.

Since the problem is with your desktop, we need to ask… what OS are you using? The choice of OS is probably the issue. If you’re using Windows, try this:
https://docs.start9.com/0.3.5.x/user-manual/connecting-lan#connecting-lan-windows

And if you have already installed this, uninstall it and install it again.

Yes that was exactly the problem! I guess I didn’t have bonjour installed and that fixed it. THANK YOU!
