Withrottle - throttle app connection issues (IP address) #withrottleserver


 

Recently after some tinkering i was able to get my JMRI up and running with the layout. My main use will be for the wifi throttle capabilities to run trains on my phone.
?
For some reason I'm unable to connect to the server on my phone. Sometimes the server will pop up in the app and sometimes it wont and i have to search for it. Whenever i try to connect to it though ?it says, "failed to connect" and then reads out the IP address. I believe my issue is that the IP address on my phone is different from the one on the computer (which hosts the server so its the same as JMRI). What i dont understand is that they're both connected to the same WIFI. How am i supposed to connect to it, if the IP address on my phone is different. They need to be the same or it wont let me connect.
?
Any help would be appreciated


 

Hi UP-Railroad(?)
What app are you using?
If EngineDriver, please post or send me a screenshot of the About screen while connected to your wifi. And send a screenshot of the exact error, use View Log if you have trouble catching it.
The IPs must be different, but only the last number. The first three must be the same.
So, if server is 192.168.1.100, your phone must be 192.168.1.something. The something cannot be 100. If the first three numbers are different, you're not on the same network.
