Using the android client app and I tried to connect to my new server (first time setup). When I tap "Choose server" I can see the server name and local IP (192.168.0.5). When I tap on it, it won't connect. What am I probably doing wrong?

Edit: the app uses a default address, although it identifies the name of the server I set up. I checked the WiFi settings on the machine and the server is 192.168.1.60. I used this and it worked immediately.

Thanks for the help! I was able to eliminate some things, and learned some important things.

How do I know the IP address of my phone? It's different on an internal network, right? As opposed to the IP address on the internet?

depends on what version of Android but it should be similar.

Also do not delete or modify anything.

Go to Settings -> Network & Internet -> Internet -> (You Network Name Here)

Then click the down arrow for Advanced and under Network Details you will find IP Address.

This Network Details information might be useful later. Remember how you got to it.
