Can't connect to local host...

Sun Jul 16, 2017 6:34 pm

So I've got a baby monitor hooked up to my local host and I can connect to it on my laptop and cellphone and every other device, but I can't do it on the pi. It always give me a connection error. It worked two weeks ago and the only thing that's changed is that I enabled SSH and VNC. Is it possible that there is some conflict there? If so is there a way to resolve it so I can keep both.

Connect with what?
Tell us more about your system (hardware and software), etc.

So is the baby monitor an external device that you try to connect to from the Pi using a browser?
Which browser do you use?
Is your Pi connected to the local network (check IP address)?

I changed nothing and it started working again. Yeah I was on the same network just using chromium. No clue why it wouldn't connect on the pi for a whole day. Thanks for being willing to help though
