Android Question Bridge quite working.

[Charles Carey]

I've been using my Kobo Vox ( android v2.3.4 e-reader like kindle ) using the wireless connection and B4A bridge for development. Everything was working wonderfully when, for no apparent reason to me, it just quit. I'm on Windows 7 and using cmd.exe was able to ping my kobo while the bridge was running and got 4 good packets so it's not my wireless network. I restarted windows and booted the kobo too with no change. The error message I get is: "Failed to connect. Make sure the device B4A bridge program is running and listening in Wireless mode." My Basic4android version is 3.0 but it was doing the same thing on the previous version.
I'm using the emulator so I'm not dead in the water, but I really like using the bridge, when it works.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

It seems the Windows firewall is blocking some port(s).

Thanks NJDude. It turned out that Norton Internet security was blocking my connection. I had to upgrade B4A-Bridge to Full trust.
