Connection Error using Hostname #218

Closed eldonatienza closed 4 years ago

I've been encountering a connection error when I'm trying configure the settings in the app using my laptop hostname but works fine when I use the IP address, i'm having internet access problems when i try to get a static IP so I just want to leave my laptop ip in dynamic. Anyone have an idea of what might be the problem?

@eldonatienza you have to NAT your traffic to your qBitorrent server on your PC and use your public IP and port. Another alternative is to use a DNS like DynDNS or noip to use your public IP address dynamically.
