Cannot reach web inerfface on Samsng S7 from Windows 11 laptop

Open bumpengrinder opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hi

I have just put BiglyBT on my Samsung S7 Android 8.0.0. I have enabled Remote Access in BiglyBT, but cannot connect to it from my Windows laptop in the same wi-fi lan. I connect to other devices' web guis on the LAN fine. I cannot even ping the S7 from the laptop (although the S7 can see other devices onn the network).

Any pointers would be most welcome please.

[I posted this in the BiglyBT area yesterday (no reponsse) but just found this Android area, so hoping to have more luck here]

I cannot resolve this, shame, would have been a nice use for an old phone. Will go back to qBittorrent on a Pi.

Just popping back to say I resolved this by rooting my S7 (TWRP then Magisk. Custom ROM wasn't needed). Can now ping it and access BiglyBT Android web interface. Ttorrent web interface now also working.
