Very good App by the way! Tonnes of uses.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run App in Samsung Galaxy S2 (Android 2.3.3) using 3G (a mobile phone 
network we have in Australia)
2. On PC, using Chrome browser, navigate to the IP address mentioned on App 
screen.
3. Unreachable host.

P.S. Works fine if Samsung Galaxy on WiFi.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to see video stream player. Cannot access that IP, host unreachable. 
Have also tried pinging the IP address from within our network and also from 
outside network (using just-ping.com). Not valid host name.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Downloaded today 4-Feb-2012. 

Please provide any additional information below.
Maybe I havent set something up correctly or maybe the web server on the 
Android device isn't transmitting correctly? But works fine when connected to 
Wifi. Also a quick one, does the App keep streaming after you click the Home 
button on the Android device?

If phone use 3G as network connection. The ip address is private, not a public 
or local ip address, so your browser can't access. This app is only used for 
local networking.
