Can no longer see PC

I was using Skifta to stream video from my PC (Vista 32) to my Verizon Droid Razr for about 2 weeks or so, and it was FANTASTIC.

However, suddenly the Skifta server stopped showing up as a home source when I'm browsing on my phone (phone/PC are both connected to the same home router). I uninstalled and reinstalled the PC application, still no go.

I've also found that the when I click on "Preferences", I'm not greeted with a message that says "There are currently no preferences available". Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this where I initially was able to specify video/music/photo folders to share from my PC?

I can see my PC as a Windows share, but I don't use that. I liked the Skifta server.

Any help would be appreciated, I finally found a product that actually WORKED.. well! Er... at least it did.

Hello!

So - this isn't a network issue, because you can still see your windows share.
1) Have you tried a reboot of the PC?
2) Do you mean you are 'now' greeted with a message saying 'no preferences?
3) Have you started the windows application as administrator?
4) If you manually start Skifta from the command line, do you see any error messages in it's logging?

I had to uninstall, reboot, and install again. It was working great.

Then I put the computer to sleep for the day, and upon waking I get the same thing again - clicking "preferences" brings up a tiny window that says "There are currently no preferences available.", and I can't see the Skifta server from my phone.

Vista x86.

Just figured out a fix. Stop the server, exit Skifta, then kill javaw.exe. Start up Skifta, and it's back to normal.

Cheers.

Thanks for letting us know computator.
That's interesting as the javaw.exe process should be killed when exiting Skifta. I'll take this up with the team to do some investigation.
