Using the android client app and I tried to connect to my new server (first time setup). When I tap “Choose server” I can see the server name and local IP (192.168.0.5). When I tap on it, it won’t connect. What am I probably doing wrong?

Edit: the app uses a default address, although it identifies the name of the server I set up. I checked the WiFi settings on the machine and the server is 192.168.1.60. I used this and it worked immediately.

Thanks for the help! I was able to eliminate some things, and learned some important things.

    The very first time you connect you’ll need to do it from a web browser, rather than the app. Once you have your username/password setup you can do everything else from the android app

      In the end, I was able to sign in directly from the app with the version I am using. I had already done the setup on the server
