Don't think so Jan although I'm not a Windows expert. I can access Solr on the Windows server with localhost:8983 so I'm supposing port 8983 is open. I can also other apps running on that server with server name, so I think dns is okay.
Just realised that when I set SOLR_JETTY_HOST to 0.0.0.0 it appeared to work on my ubuntu laptop, but I wonder what that actually does and whether there could be a Windows firewall issue. I'm starting Solr with the command .\solr start from the command line for the moment as I did with the earlier version of Solr. I'll create a Windows service later. I understand version 9.10 is more secure in terms of being able to access it other than localhost.
