PCSync PC not detected

Post by nodrog »

Hi, I cannot seem to get my Moto G3 to sync with my PC automatically.

I'm using Android V6.0 and the latest version of the free EPIM App.

It lists my Wi-fi connection but says it cannot detect a running version of EPIM.

If I connect manually I will often have to change the IP address as the last digit listed will be different from the current IP address when I check it on the PC.

We have 2 laptops and my PC using the wifi in our household but I'm the only one using EPIM.

Any ideas would be welcome
Thanks
Gordon

Thanks. I had looked at it a few months ago but I'd forgotten it was there.
I went into Settings and unchecked "Use last known good IP address first" and that seems to have sorted it as long as I use manual connect.
Still will not detect automatically but it's only a minor annoyance.
Thanks

Auto detection might not work in cases when your router doesn't allow multicast packets through. Please refer to your router's documentation and enable the feature, if possible.

Thanks. I'll look when I have time. Manual doesn't take long now I've changed the settings.
