ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE new - only Chrome/Mac!

[donawalt]

Does anyone have any ideas why I keep getting ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE on two sites on your own network? 192.168.1.148 and .149 - two satellite/routers.

For probably years I have accessed them at those IP addresses to check status, etc. I get ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE ONLY on Chrome/Mac. I do not get the error on:
- Safari/Mac
-Edge/Windows 11
-Chrome/Windows

I have tried:
- Using Apple Cleaner to delete Chrome and reinstall it
- Removed all extensions
- Cleared cache
- Cleared DNS cache
- Verified IP addresses show up on main router for those satellites (they are reserved IP addresses)
- Restarted the Mac
- Power cycled all router/satellites/modem on the network

I have probably tied some other stuff I have forgotten

Any ideas? Thanks!

Based on the issue you're describing, most of those steps you tried would have no effect on this issue since Safari can access the same IP addresses without issue. That indicates something is wonky with Chrome itself, although trying to get support from Google is like trying to squeeze water from a rock...

Thanks. Is there a way to get a copy of an older version of chrome, to try that?

I would try going to System Settings > Privacy and Security. Then scroll to find Local Network. Make sure it is enabled for Google Chrome.

@blank-deferent-chalice you're a HERO! That was the issue! Once it worked, I remember getting one of those messages asking for permission. I never knew what it was for and always said No lol. Funny thought, 192.168.1.1 always worked, but .148 and .149 did not. Anyway - thank you again so much!!!

Very interesting that you can get to 1.1 but not any other address. I experienced the same error after upgrading. Thanks to @donawalt for the quick fix.

Thank you so much @donawalt for posting this issue and @blank-deferent-chalice for the solution! I started running into the same issue with Plex and tried so many different things for the past 2 hours.

I do remember seeing more security popups asking to allow things since I upgraded to Sequoia. Maybe I clicked no on this one and didn't think about it at the time. I don't use Plex in Chrome often so I didn't connect the dots to this setting until this forum thread.

Hopefully adding Plex into this thread will help others find this issue and answer too!
