UMS not working with SONY BRAVIA after JAVA update

[pier]

I have a TV SONY BRAVIA KDL 46 NX710.
Before last JAVA update UMS worked perfectly.
After the last JAVA update, UMS doesen't work anymore: in the server window I see the TV icon but in the menù of the TV I see only a general network grey icon of UMS (Before the JAVA update i saw the blu icon).
When I try to connet the TV to the server it says "impossible to connect the server".
Could you please help me to solve this issue or fix the bug?
Debug file is attacched but I think there are not useful information in it because the TV is not able to access the server.
Thanks and regards

Does it work if you turn off windows firewall?

Yes it works, many thanks!!!

I can't understad why before JAVA update was not necessary to switch the firewall off to allow the TV connection.
Could you or someone please suggest how can I add an exception in the firewall to allow the TV connection without switch the firewall off?
I'm using Avira antivirus that have inside the firewall menù option but I think it leans on the windows firewall.
My SO is Win 8.1.

Thanks

My guess is that it's because javaw.exe is not the same as the one allowed by your firewall. (because it has been updated)
Same thing happens with windows firewall.

I'm not sure why the firewall does not prompt for the new version, but adding a rule again should do it. I don't know Avira Firewall, so you'll have to google it.

I have solved the issue like written below:

- I went in firewall settings
- selected application rules
- scrolled down until reach "JAVA (TM) Platform SE binary" (in my case I had 4 identical items like this)
- I have selected the option "JAVA (TM) Platform SE binary" (the one that in details show jre1.8.0._121\bin\javaw.exe)

Thanks a lot to Squadjot for the appreciated help
