suddenly no connection to pc

Bought my Panavision V20 for a couple of months ago. Had it connected to my pc without too many problems. But the other day the connection to my pc suddenly stopped. I was sitting watching a movie on my pc when it stopped.
Today I have switched to another router but there is still no connection between pc and TV.

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall serviio a couple of times, but nothing happens.

Any ideas?

Make sure your TV is on static IP address and still has the proper profile. The same for your PC - and put the PC IP address into the bound IP address field in the console.

I solved the problem. It was not serviio but the set-up in my panasonic. Now it works perfect again :)

Make sure that you have turned off Auto Upgrade on Firmware changes. Alot of the Electronics now days have it setup by default to download and install firmware automatically. I have seen this cause problems alot. That is one of the 1st things I do when I get a new device.

Why would you not recommend this? I still have it setup to notify me, but I have had problems in the past with firmware updates that changed network setting and other settings that have changed how the equipment works and responds to other equipment.

When I get notification of the new firmware, I look at the documentation of the changes and install it myself that way I will notice if there is any problems with either the firmware installation or the way the equipment operates afterwards. That way I know where to start troubleshooting.
