Impossible to connect to host
Posted: Wed Feb 24, 2016 3:15 pm
I haven't tried to sync for a couple of months & now am unable to connect to my laptop, on which Birdiesync is running, from either my tablet or phone. Have updated to Thunderbird 38.6.0 in the meantime. Am running Birdiesync 3.0.0.6 on Windows 10 and 3.0.0.4 on Android.
When trying to connect my phone/tablet via wifi the desktop address is correct (as displayed in Birdiesync on the laptop), the device is connected to the same network as my laptop, Birdiesync is running on my laptop, & my firewall authorises Birdiesync to accept incoming connections.
The configuration screen on my laptop currently says "No source connected" but when I first started Birdiesync today it said "Impossible to connect to server 127.0.0.1". I don't know what caused that to change.
Any help would be very welcome.
