=46rom transmission manual:
     -a --allowed x.x.x.x,...
             Allow RPC access to a comma-delimited whitelist of IP addresse=
s.
             Wildcards can be specified in an address by using '*'.  Defaul=
t:
             "127.0.0.1" Example: "127.0.0.*,192.168.1.*"

So by settings this flag you are allowing only IP 192.168.0.1.

Try this way:
remove that flag, turn off transmission-daemon, change settings.json and th=
en=20
start transmission-daemon.=20
