On my previous router, I had it all setup so I go into iPhone > Files app > Connect to Server > and I had a 192 type smb address thingie setup so I could view certain Users’ directories (Windows elven11 laptop) and exchange files between the two devices and even make actual changes like deleting shit and creating new folders or renaming or moving stuff around.
SOLVED I figured out the problem and the ipconfig tip was very helpful to getting the actual address (ipv4 address)
yes, the iphone uses the 192. ip to locate your windows laptop in the network.
what he is saying is that ip probably changed with the router, but it’s just a matter of finding out the new one.
Right, so how do we do that?
copy the number you found with ipconfig on the laptop to your iphone.
It was the ipv4 address that worked :) All good now
