gcw07 347 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 While I don't know anything about the Android app itself as I've never used it, it sounds like your server is preventing the app from connecting to it. Check to make sure you don't have any firewalls or antivirus programs blocking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redshirt 1487 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Are you trying to use that address from inside your home on wifi, or outside your home on cellular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibsta 0 Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Hi RedshiftI can not use either wifi or 3gBut if I go through Web browser it connects to serverHope this helps Edited March 21, 2014 by dibsta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 If the server is running on windows 7 I'd make sure both ports are open on the firewall. Not just 8096. If your testing over WiFi. Just for simplicity make sure it works, or not, just using the servers IP address. Don't add DNS name resolution to the picture just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibsta 0 Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Hi Redshirt I tried what you suggested but to no joy still would not connect. So I decided to uninstall server software and reinstall all is well now, just got to add all sources again. Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Glad you got that sorted. I'll probably break this again, in a good way, when I get to adding support for transitioning from WiFi->cellular and vice-versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
