Use LAN plugin through WiFi hotspot

[CoMiKe]

Hi!

I was trying to connect to a network share on my work computer while connected directly to my cell phone through the WiFi hotspot option, but TC displays the following message:

"No network connection! Please either enable WLAN or disable flight mode! Turn on WLAN now?"

But my computer got 192.168.43.12 and I can ping my phone at 192.168.43.1, so that message isn't true!

Well, the reason I'm trying to do this is:

1. The USB port on my cell phone is broken. Shame on me.
2. I'm not allowed to connect my personal phone to the company network, so why not connecting the computer to my phone instead?

So could this option be enabled in the future? I think it shouldn't be hard, probably a simple condition that is not taken into account when checking for a network connection.

Thanks!

Please tap on the "Settings" line in the LAN plugin (the one with the hammer icon) and allow connections via phone. This is disabled by default, because it can cause high data fees.

Wow, I would never have thought about looking in the plugin preferences!

My bad, sorry and thanks for the answer!!
