    It looks like you selected the wrong network to assign the device to in the DHCP Settings portion of that screen. The network IP-range in the select bar next to IPv4 DHCP should match the IP range/address of the device.   Is the ChromeCast's IP assigned by the Sophos UTM DHCP server?

    Hi BramKortleven1,

     

     

    The Chromecast IP address was not assign by the SOPHOS UTM DHCP server its the IP a public IP address of the chromecast.

    Please help me add this one on our SOPHOS so that we can use the Chromecast freely and update the connection.

    You've lost us here Justin. 192.168.255.251 is not a public IP.  If that is one of the interface networks on your UTM, your PC/phone will need to be on the same subnet to cast to your TV. 

    If I recall correctly, during setup, you assign your Chromecast a fixed IP.  You don't need to have a DHCP definition, so just leave the DHCP settings empty.

    Any better luck now?

    Cheers - Bob
