[SailfishDevel] Question about connecting a Sailfish phone to Ubuntu Linux box

[Sahlan]

I only have one phone connected to the i.p. network via USB, so I don't 
have to worry about i.p. address clashes between phones; I only have to 
be concerned that the i.p. address chosen by default for the Jolla phone 
clashes with another on my network. All my addresses are set up 
statically and none are using the 192.168.2.15 address, so in theory 
there should not be a problem, unless under the hood there are some 
address clashes I am not aware of. Since the phone allows me to change 
its ip address, I could try setting it to 192.168.2.99, for example. Or 
I could change my development PCs, including the Ubuntu box used for 
Sailfish, to be on, say, 192.168.7.x, or I could try i.p addresses 
greater than 192.168.2.24.  I suppose trial and error is the best 
strategy, starting with the easier-to-make changes,

Regards,

Sahlan
