I punched in the IP address and port on my iPad browser, but nothing shows up. I've had the same issue with a different software (Martin Caron's MSFS Mobile Companion) and I suspect it's because my PC isn't on the same network as my iPad as it's connected via Ethernet and the iPad is, of course, on a WiFi network.

What can I do to resolve this issue? I'd obviously much rather keep my PC on Ethernet!

EDIT: Renamed my Ethernet profile name to have the same name as the WiFi one the iPad uses...no good. 😞

Firewall blocking the communication port?

I'm a bit confused. Do you use the webserver in LNM or Navconnect to run LNM on a remote computer?
Using the Navconnect address in a browser will lead to nothing.

To be clear:
- Use a webbrowser from anywhere in your local network to connect to the webserver on an address like http://YOURCOMPUTERNAME:8965/. You need to run LNM on the flying computer and also need to enable the webserver for this (menu Tools).
- Use LNM from anywhere in your local network to connect to a Navconnect running together with the simulator on the flying computer.

All this is independent of Ethernet or Wifi. Both should work equally.
And Firewall are often the issue if a connection fails as somiller indicated.

Hope this helps.

You're right, the webserver is what I'm trying to do. Leave it to me to make things harder than they need to be.

Still running into a problem using webserver, though. I can open it up just fine on the browser on my PC, but not on my iPad (it says it cannot find the server).

Guessing this is a firewall issue maybe?

 

EDIT: Got it! I just had to enter in the IP # and port as listed in the webserver setting on my iPad.

Thanks so much for your help! Now THIS will be more fun!

Thanks. I see.

Most likely. You can temporarily disable the firewall to check this. LNM should be enabled for incoming connections. Also, some browsers mess up the address and you end up at something like YOURCOMPUTERNAME.com . Enter the full address with all the http://... (not "https://...") to get there.

It's resolved, see my edit in previous post! Thanks so much!
