You can enter any internet address which contacts the remote.
 
 
 
* IP address
 
** This is the most common option. You can get your IP address from the 'connection help' button on the VLC Remote helper.
 
** It will be something like 192.168.1.1
 
** VLC Remote will add the 'http://' automatically and assume port 8080
 
** If you are on linux, you can type ifconfig in the terminal to get your IP addresses
 
 
 
* IP with port
 
** If you want to use a custom port, you can enter something like 192.168.1.1:9090
 
 
 
* Local address
 
** If your local network supports it, you can sometimes connect with a local address like 'myComputer.myRouter'
 
 
 
* Dynamic address
 
** If you have a dynamic address, then you can connect over the internet, though this is likely to be slow and painful
