If it is inside then the ip address has probably changed. If outside then it may be upnp related, it is normally on but check in the router setup screens (192.168.1.254)

As above make sure that the plex ports are open on your LOCAL pc firewall, double check the ip address is the same, have you installed any extra s/w since it was working?

no ports needs opened on the router (even for external access).
it's all done via uPNP, so make sure that is enabled on the router.
by default, plex server uses port 32400 for internal traffic.
make sure that port is open on you local system level firewall.

Make sure your Firewall isn't blocking it or any of your antivirus programs that have firewalls built into them.

1. Has anything changed in your setup? You say it used to work and has only stopped working after a Windows rebuild on your PC so this seems to be where to look first.
2. Has this worked with the PN router prior to the Windows re-install? If so, and you haven't made any changes to the router then this also points at your PC.
3. Where is your Plex server? Another PC, a NAS or something else? Is the server cabled to the router or is the connection wireless?
4. Is the connection to your PC wired or wireless? If the answer to 3 or 4 is wireless, connect everything to the router via ethernet cables for now.
Please give as much detail as possible about what your system is as we can't see it

Again, what has changed in your setup and can you fully describe your setup?
