As the cable is bust, I'm using my mobile hotspot and communicating to my iMac via wi-fi.
Puzzle No 1
I'm assuming that the mobile must act as a DHCP server ? Anyway, my Mac has an IP address of 192.168.43.208.
But I can't access what I would have thought was the server at either 192.168.43.1 or .0 That's Puzzle No 1
Puzzle No 2
Now to transfer files from my mobile to my iMac I usually fire up an app called WiFi File Transfer Pro. While using my mobile still as the hotspot in the background, if I fire up the Wi-Fi transfer app on the phone, another network appears 192.168.178.x (on the mobile) and I CAN access that from the iMac and transfer files from mobile to Mac. But surely the IP address should be in the same range as in Puzzle 1 ?
Very confused
