Am I right in thinking that since Android apps running inside ArcVM on a Chromebook are subject to NAT on the internal 10.x.x.x class A network and can't listen on an external port, this means it's impossible to set up MSP on a Chromebook as a server over wifi, and therefore impossible to connect MSP on two Chromebooks together over wifi? If so I presume the remaining options are bluetooth, or synchronizing via an intermediate server (e.g. Google Drive)?
If I'm right, I would suggest that MSP watches out for the case where the server is started on a 10.0.0.0/8 address and warns the user that it likely won't work the way they expect. I had the advantage of knowledge of TCP/IP networking and Linux in general so I was able to guess what was going on here and search these forums for keywords such as "NAT" and "firewall", but I guess a lot of MSP users won't be that lucky and will just wonder why it's not working without any obvious way to find out.
