MX-Linux 23.3 installation doesn't work

[Max91]

Hi. I'm not sure how to word this, so please bear with me. I run MX Linux Wildflower, 21.3, kernel 5.10, as a persistent live usb. I have installed UMS, and it works great, no problems. So, the way I've done this, is, I download the tarball, move it to the directory of my choice, right click the tarball, choose "extract here", and the output is the folder, with whatever contents are supposed to be in it. Then I usually will right click "UMS.sh", and scroll down to "send to", then choose "desktop(create link)". My system is set up for single click. I left click the desktop icon, and UMS starts up, I follow the wizard, to set up shared folder, choose renderer, which is a WDTV live, etc... My WDTV Live, picks up UMS, as a media server, no problem, plays content, no problem. Now, when I follow the exact same steps on my MX 23.3 installation, kernel 6. something. The renderer,(WDTV Live), will no longer let me choose UMS, as a media server, even when UMS picks up the renderer, I'm trying to use. I just keep getting an error. I'm using UMS 14.7.0. Everything regarding my internet connection, is the same, for both instances. I'm stumped. When I was running the MX 23.3, and tried to run UMS, my WDTV Live box, would spit out an "incorrect DNS server address. Please check your network setting, and try again", error. I have never set a DNS address. Sorry this is so long winded. Thank you. I wanted to add, when I try to connect, the WDTV Live box, gives me a "No content source available", error.

I have very little knowledge of Linux so I can give you any specific help if it is something related to the OS preventing UMS being shown on the WDTV box.

Usually if UMS can see the renderer but the renderer cannot see UMS then something is blocking the communication like a firewall.
None of this should have anything to do with your internet connection, just the local network setup.
Maybe your router got an update and changed something off like messing up the DNS. There should be a default setting for this.

If you post your logs (see the red section above) I might be able to see what is happening.

Hi. First, there is no firewall set up.
