RE: Grey icon of Minimwatch, Minimwatch does not see Minimserver
Hello Simon,
The icon has turned grey again, and probably the recent Java update is the root cause (although I have no proof for that).
- In Windows Defender I see 3 sets of rules:
- It is enabled on the Domain Network
- It is disabled on the Private Network
- It is enabled on the Guest/Public network
In the incoming rules, there are 4 line items called "Java™ Platform SE binary" of which 2 were not enabled/allowed. I have now enabled/allowed connection.

Norton Firewall is enabled - not sure on which of the 3 above networks. Contrary to last year, I was now able to quickly find the incoming connection rules of Norton, and saw that Norton allows incoming connection for all 4 Java line items. So far so good, but....:

After a reboot of the internet modem, the Wifi router and the Windows PC, unfortunately the icon stays grey.

A right-clicking on the grey icon and then Options > Show log (watch) gives as response:

MinimWatch 0.8.5.3 update 62, Copyright © 2012-2019 Simon Nash. All rights reserved.
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_221-b11)
Java HotSpot™ Client VM (build 25.221-b11, mixed mode, sharing)
Platform default charset is windows-1252
Using single subnet 192.168.1.0
Startup complete

When I try to enter the Minimserver via the webbrower Firefox using the address http://192.168.1.98:9790/ the browser message is: Cannot make a connection.

I will now (like I did as a last resort successfully last year) do a couple of reboots of the entire network, NAS and PC and see what happens...
