Roo Code Task Links (Optional)
Roo wont connect to the server(non localhost). complains that the model isnt available.
confirmed that this is not an Ollama problem by connecting with a different chatbot with zero problems with ollama or the model itself.
"The model ID (Qwen3-Coder-30b:Latest) you provided is not available. Please choose a different model."
is this maybe an issue where localhost has been hardcoded rather than allowing an external ipaddress in the field?
🔁 Steps to Reproduce
open up a new profile
select ollama
enter a external url eg http://10.3.4.5:11434
attempt to type in an existing model name
fail
💥 Outcome Summary
