HÁ! IT’S ALIVE!!
firewall was active; I just sudo ufw allow 11114 and now it syncs \o/
thank you very much by your help and patience.
That’s great. Thanks for reporting back, I’m sure this might help other users as well.
Hi, I’m trying to setup my MacBook as the server with iPhone as the client, the server is up n running, configured a static ip, however I’m getting Status Comm error: Could not connect to server …
yeap I did, set up a static ip, restarted the app a few times.
I tried the 4 steps in troubleshooting (when server is up but no connection)
Tried the connection test and my phone couldn’t reach the website
In most cases this means a firewall is blocking requests. Have you tried disabling the firewall on the computer?
Have you tried the browser test from the same computer or from any other device on the network?
Yes, I’m getting this on the server laptop.
But I tried the browser test on both an iPhone and Android and it’s not connecting.
I got it working before about a year ago on this same network with another desktop(server) and another iPhone.
It means the server is up. The only problem is the local network connectivity.
You need to figure out why your computer is not accessible from your mobile devices. Make sure the phone is using the local network as opposed to cellular data. Try for example to open a file share over the local network - does it work?
