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.
SOLVED I figured out the problem and the ipconfig tip was very helpful to getting the actual address (ipv4 address)


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
.
Right, so how do we do that?

It was the ipv4 address that worked :) All good now
