Connect to android device via WIFI

I'm trying to connect my pc to my android phone via WIFI..

But the problem is anytime I disconnect my phone from WIFI and turn it on again I'm getting a different IP address so my pc doesn't connect until I change the IP address to connect to.. Is there any way to get the correct IP address of the phone?

That might be a router settings issue. Have you ever heard of "DHCP Reservation"? Most routers support such an option, which enables the router to memorize an IP to every distinct client ever connected and then to assign this ip to the respective client every time it reconnects.

Check your router settings / documentation for this option.

Here is a link, which could help you with your further investigation:
