Description

This issue has reoccured a few days back and it is still not working as of today. I believe I have read somewhere that this is a issue due to the dependencies of Material Files App although I am not quite sure. Other apps like SyncMe Wireless can access my SMB Share without any problem.

The app tries to connect to 192.168.160.1 whereas the device is actually at the IP Address 192.168.0.101.

I believe that this can be fixed by allowing the user to manually enter the IP Address of the SMB Server instead of the app just finding it for you or something.

Also these are some other issues that are probably same as this one: #813 #494 #1233 #1320
Anyways I am looking forward to a resolution of this issue.

Thank you,
Moba.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the SMB connection failure using the reported addresses and compare it with issues #813, #494, #1233, and #1320; done should mean the app connects to the correct SMB server, including when its address is entered manually if that is the selected resolution.
