Browser-sync: No External URL

[tonyoconnell]

Hello... I'm using BrowserSync with Gulp. All was going well until I got a new internet provider and new modem. Then when I started BrowserSync it would hang a minute or two and eventually start without an external url ... like this ...

[BS] Local URL: http://localhost:3000
[BS] Serving files from: ./servers/development/
[BS] Watching files...

Instead of like this ...

[BS] Local URL: http://localhost:3000
[BS] External URL: http://11.0.100.235:3000
[BS] Serving files from: ./servers/development/
[BS] Watching files...

Does anybody have any idea how I can configure my network so BrowserSync will work or how can I configure BrowserSync to work with my network?

Best wishes and thanks for such an amazing product.

Tony

My Browsersync was not showing the external url due to option online: false.
