[iOS] Problems using default settings when connecting to Calibre.

I have an iPad Pro and an iPad Mini.

The Mini connects to Calibre without problems using the default settings.

The pro also used to connect to Calibre using the default settings, but then suddenly wouldn't do that anymore.

I then entered the IP address and port as reported by Calibre under settings in CC, and everything worked again.

But I noticed that CC reported the iPad's IP adress as 10.131.66.47, and told that the Calibre IP address should be similar.

Well, the IP address of the PRO is 192.168.0.2 as reported of the iPad under settings and also by my router.

The Calibre address is 192.168.0.29 and is indeed similar to the PRO's true IP address.

I believe that the false mention of the address 10.131.66.47 is the reason that default settings can't be used with the PRO.

Everything is reported correctly in the iPad Mini.

It is not a serious problem as I can connect to Calibre using the manual settings. But it may happen that the router assigns another address to the computer, or I might change to another PC where I have one of my Calibre backups.

Edit. Marvin can connect directly to Calibre.
