Only works on Wifi? #220

Open ifuchs opened 1 year ago

ifuchs commented 1 year ago

I have no trouble sharing my Mac screen to my iPhone but if I try to share a PC screen which is on the same network but is on wired ethernet, it does not connect. Is this a limitation of the program? If not, where am I going wrong?

probably firewall blocking it

I personally use this software with an Cat5e Rj47 cable or "wired ethernet" currentñy using linux and it works flawlessly, the only problem is that it only shows up the wifi local ip address instead, although i once had a problem, that the other's computer eth0 interface was off, i just had to do ifconfig eth0 up (change eth0 to your ethernet's interface)
