If you have multiple networks at home, or if you use some type of VM to host Android/iOS on a Windows machine to run it, you cannot use the StellarMate app. It will not connect, even if port 80 and the manager at port 8624/whatever is open and accessible.

It would be great if there was a way to make this work.

edit: ugh.. StellarMate - not KStars. I'm an idiot.

Excuse us, could you please provide the following information:

1) What are you trying to achieve? And why?
2) Where‘s the mount and camera connected? Type of host? Network Connection of that host?
3) How are you trying to connect from iOS/Android (in a VM??)
4) What works? What doesn‘t work?

edit: good grief - total newbie here. I mean the StellarMate app, not KStars at all. Sorry, KStars - it's not you.

Am I using the wrong term? Could well be.. I mean the KStars mobile app for Android/iOS, not the KStars program that I run on my PC.

Is this enough info? If not, please let me know: indilib.org/forum/stellarmate/11535-stel...-via-bluestacks.html
