Can't connect to IP? Solved here in my case.

As many here have the infamous problem of not connecting to the displayed IP address. I ever downloaded a like program but no go. Checked my router and tried everything mentioned. Then I saw the problem staring me squarely in the face and really felt stupid. Be sure the last part of the IP string you enter has :8080 instead of .8080 in my case. That is your port number and must have the (:) in front of the port number or you'll get a web address error. REMEMBER put yours in as :8080

I hope this ends many a frustrated user as I was.
