What happens if I click "Forget Server"?

It's not something I ever messed with--the install always worked for me with factory defaults.
LMS worked fine for 13 years on my Acer notebook (XP).
Worked fine on the XP Acer notebook I replaced it with (had to send it back for other issues).
Worked fine on my wife's W10 laptop....

And that's what happened.

Right now my system is up. I wish I could post the 'magic bullet' that fixed it but truth is I did a bunch of things all at once.

. Changed to 'private network'.
I thought I had tried this suggestion earlier but I guess I missed it.

I rolled the dice & 'forgot' both servers.

Much of mherger's reply was way over my head but I tried his suggestions about the firewall and reboot.
I don't understand the "expired player" part. LMS on my wife's laptop is connecting to 10.0.0.187 but I only have a single Touch operating.

My phone controller app (Orange Squeeze) can't find my player or music. Server Discovery is on but it can't connect to my source, named Big Drive.
I just tried my Duet remote and it couldn't connect either but when I navigate to Players and click my active Squeezebox Touch it goes to that Server...

In my error logs all the hundreds of duplicate entries say


But the diagnostics tab in control panel says LMS is at .152

Is that normal?

Disabled firewall--no effect.
Disabled router security--no effect.

I need to get into the router settings but I don't know exactly what to look for.
Wouldn't those settings affect other Internet traffic? I'm able to stream movies & TV (Kodi) no problem.
