The iPhone Live Link App connects when I enable the old ARKit Mode

BUT! When I switch over to the MetaHuman Animator Mode

I haven’t changed IP Address or anything, and yet my computer can’t find the source

I’ve looked at a few tutorials, doing what they are doing.  
Using Command Prompt - ipconfig  
Looking at the right IP Address

Triple checked everything, used different machines, different phones and it still won’t connect.

Anyone else having this problem?
