Hi.
Does your desktop PC contain Windows or Linux ? You can handle Linux easily. With Windows, it's a bit more complicated, since it's a "picture book" and not an operating system.
I mean testing the connection with the help of the ping command, which is probably the first step. Of course you have to be sure of the correct IP address and you have to have your set-top box and PC in the same LAN sub-network (the home network should be OK though).
Then test the open ports of the set-top box - remotely. You can use a port scanner for Windows, but AV systems may report it as a dangerous tool. Download and use for example PortQRY: https://ss64.com/nt/portqry.html
If it is not a third-party OpenPLi, you should also be able to edit, or disable / enable, the password for OpenWebif as well as the OpenWebif web-server itself, directly in the GUI of your OpenPLi, so try to find it there and enable it if it is disabled. Then also verify the password for OpenWebif.
When you try to connect via a web-browser, what error exactly does the browser write ? Does it write any error at all ?
And which web-browser are you using ? Have you tried more web-browsers to connect to OpenWebif or just one ?
