 | | Posted: |  |  |  |  |  |  | I've never had this much difficulty getting the mobile app to connect directly to my desktop database but for some reason it isn't working at all.  I have all of the information correct but it just keeps telling me Unable to Connect.  I recently moved and our wifi changed but I can't imagine this has anything to do with it.  Anyone familiar with this issue or know how to handle it? |

 | | Posted: |  |  |  |  |  |  | As of today, I am having the same issue. I have rebuilt the DB, restarted my router, PC, and phone, but no luck. I also made sure the IP address and port were correct along with the password. I'm at a loss. |  |  |  |  |  | Marty - Registered July 10, 2004, User since 2002. |

 | | Posted: |  |  |  |  |  |  | For anybody who may be interested, I was able to restore the connection to the Desktop database by checking the option to allow access from over the internet.  The connection failed from the internet because I have a firewall that blocks incoming connection, but after the option was enabled I was able to connect though my internal network and download the collection to my phone.
