Pasting URL from computer to U5

[sea157]

I thought I seen something on here where you could use your computer to enter a URL on your U5 box.

I did all kinds of searches and cannot find anything on it.

Could someone please explain to me how to do this or am I just imagining I seen this somewhere?

From the server screen, on the top right under the Server ID, you will see an IP URL.. Ex: http://192.168.1.14:8090   

While on the server screen, you go to your PC (or phone), open up that url in a web browser and you should see the option to create your servers.

NOTE: Make sure you disconnect from any VPN before doing this, because if your VPN is not configured to allow local LAN access you will not be able to connect to the U5.  Easier to just disconnect quickly.

The only thing I was not doing is not disconnecting for my VPN.

Once I disconnected for my VPN it worked like a charm!

Thanks again Emporium!

Only reason I even remembered and mentioned that is because I was cursing last week myself on why it was not working on my classic, and I then realized I had my VPN set to auto connect on boot   And as soon as I disconnected, all worked as expected.
