Basically I have a LAN connection through my WIFI router and unfortunately my computer does not have WIFI privileges and so it is connected to the internet through cable line (coming from the router). Now I created a new account in PLEX media server and wanted access my contents remotely. But I failed to do so.My ip configuration is as shown in the picture.

My ip configuration is as shown in the picture. Is there anything I have to modify ? And I want make clear that from the router only my PC is connected via cable and nothing is connected, also I do not have any modem. I use my mobile under the wifi router. My router is from D-Link and I have UpnP enabled. I have tried almost every possible way that are given in the internet but failed to make any difference. Also I want to say that I am a quite novice in such router configuration thing.

Thanks in advance for your time.

EDIT 1: In accordance to the solution given by jcbermu i would like to show my router configuration page:enter image description here Which option should I modify ?

EDIT 2: Adding this picture to get some help for router configuration. enter image description here

Your Plex Server is running in port 32400. If you are trying to connect remotely from outside your network, you have to follow these steps:

The internet router is doing NAT (translating a single public IP address to the private IP addresses in your network) as in the following image:

  1. It's necessary to open the port TCP 32400 in the router and redirect all the traffic coming to that port to the IP address of the server.

Your router should have a menu like this:

Where you indicate the port and the IP address of the server

  1. go to the Plex Server configuration and find this where you can test that the server is reachable from outside enter image description here
