Connect Wireless quit connecting

I've been using Connect Wireless with my Toshiba Thrive for a long time and not had any problem until today. It will no longer connect. As far as I know, nothing in my setup has changed in the last day.

B4A-Bridge says "Waiting for connections."
I click Connect - Wireless in B4A on the PC, double-check the IP# and click Ok.
I don't get any error messages, just "B4A-Bridge: Disconnected" down in the corner.
I try multiple times and the result is the same.
I tried restarting B4A, then rebooting the tablet, then rebooting the PC.
I can get on the Internet with both my PC and the tablet.

Any ideas?

Nope, just the one B4A open. I have two tablets, but the 2nd one is via USB and I'm still using it, but I prefer testing on the 10" Toshiba which is the one using Wireless.

I've done dumb things before like not entering the correct IP#, but like I said, I double-checked that and am sure I'm entering the right number. I believe Bridge tells you if you don't have a good WiFi connection.

This just came out of nowhere and I've restarted everything, so I just can't imagine what the problem could be.

I just noticed that the Log tab is connected to the USB tablet. I wonder if that could affect making a Wireless connection.

I'm about to the point where I think I should reinstall software, but I'll wait to see what Erel has to say.

I'm back on.

I had my tablet connected to the router in my study, but when I disconnected from that and connected to the router in the living room, then Bridge connected on the first try.

I know the study router connection was working because I could access the Internet, so I have no idea why I suddenly couldn't connect to B4A Bridge while using it. Oh well...

It finally dawned on me to try unplugging and replugging my study router. Did that and I can now connect via Bridge with that router. Didn't think of it at first because I was able to get on that router and onto the Internet, just could not connect via Bridge. But since that was the only thing I hadn't tried, I did it anyway, and there we go...
