@Marcin i would think you would need the IP address?

@vanessafvg do you mean ip addres instead server name ?

I have tried that but it didn't help 😕

have you opened port 80? (just a guess)

details should be here

Unfortunately it still does not work, the error remains the same : 'Server url addres is incorrect' 😕

Any advice ?

Try removing the /browse from the end of your URL, you only need this portion of the URL http://<servername>/<vdir>

Hi @Marcin,

If you are using mobile app on Windows devices, it probably hasn't supported Power BI Report Server yet. You'll notice it prompt you to connect "SQL Server Reporing Services 2016", not "Power BI Report Server".

The mobile app works fine in Android and iOS devices, and you can follow this article on how to set it up: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-mobile-iphone-kpis-mobile-reports/

Hi,

I found first reason was that my computer wasn't visable by local network , after I change this the problem with url disappeared.

But now the problem is with the log on into server,

I have added new user named : "report" to security options which is local user on computer where server is installed and I use its credentials why trying to log to server using this time Mobile App on my Android OS , my phone is also using WiFi the same that computer with server.

The error is : "There was a problem during the authentication process"

Can you try to log in using username without domain? e.g. instead of "DOMAIN\user", just "user"

I am trying in to log in exactly in this way using 'report' as username without server name and problem stays the same.

It says that there was a problem with authentication not that creadentials are incorrect.
