On my previous router, I had it all setup so I go into iPhone > Files app > Connect to Server > and I had a 192 type smb address thingie setup so I could view certain Users’ directories (Windows elven11 laptop) and exchange files between the two devices and even make actual changes like deleting shit and creating new folders or renaming or moving stuff around.

But thats all gone now 😭

Please, so much My night depends on a reddy network

    I think its other way around. That seems like the tail wagging the dog. Its

    iPhone -> access Windows directories

    not Windows -> access iPhone directories, its sort of 1 way

      yes, the iphone uses the 192. ip to locate your windows laptop in the network.

      what he is saying is that ip probably changed with the router, but it’s just a matter of finding out the new one.

      Yes, you need to change the address on your iPhone. Beyond that, you should look at setting your router to give a static IP address to your Windows computer, so that it doesn’t ever change.
