What I want to do is send music/videos through my pc to my iphone through wifi. I had done it few times. But now i am not being able to do it for some reasons.
So, i install apps like VLC and other music and video player in my iphone and turn on the wifi sharing. Then they will give me a certain IP address to use it in my browser in my PC.
For eg: 192.168.0.2:7777
When i type it in my browser it says problem loading page(connection timed out). I heard that the iphone and PC should be in same IP address to transfer files from one another.But since they are both using same internet connection(wifi) through a same router arent their IP address suppose to be same?
Why am I getting the error in my Browser.?
btw do i have to do something in firewall?
Thank you!
Edit: I am able to transfer files when i use a hotspot from my PC and if i connect to that hotspot from my iphone then i am able to transfer it. Is there a way to do without the hotspot through router wifi on both devices? thank you!
