Hello,
I just installed the B4A-Bridge app on my GT-P5100 Samsung tablet and run it. It correctly shows that device IP and clicking "start-wireless" enters the "waiting for wireless connections" state.
But when on my PC I select menu Tools/B4A Bridge/Connect Wireless and enter that same Ip address, I finish up with an error about "ping failed: 11050".

I guess this is caused by some network setting on my pc (firewall or disabled service) so please can you point me toward the right spot to investigate?

Thank you

Hi Erel,
thanks for your prompt response. In the meanwhile I tried to disable the firewall on the PC and everything worked like expected.
So the problem is in the fw configuration: what am I expected to set?
I'm on a W7HP machine and the firewall is the one fron MS.

SOLVED.
I had to enable the "echo request for ICMPv4" rule in the outgoing connection rules group in the firewall.
This solved the ping issue.
