I'm having some trouble getting a phone, wired LAN and wifi computer to see each other's messages. Yes, they're in the same network. Any idea why it could be?

Probably cross-platform issues

Don't worry, windows and android should be 100% compatible! :)

Hey Tangy!

There's a lot of reasons why you might not be able to connect to each other on the same network. Usually the problem is with the network itself. For example corporate or school networks may prevent devices from finding each other.

Something to try might be to create a hotspot on your phone, connect your pc to the hotspot and try and message from there.

(Do note that usually wired connected devices and Wi-Fi connected devices don't go together very well...)

I hope you figure it out, let me know if you need anything! :)

You should try turning your firewall off on Windows. That made it work for me. Of course, turn it back on right after. The best would be to make an allow-rule in the firewall to allow froggychat.

This is what ended up making it work, by the way. Made rules to allow FroggieChat, suddenly all devices can see each other.
