My IP address had not changed. The passwords were right, etc. I
re-started my shack PC and my laptop that I use for remote
contesting, but that didn't work.
I would suspect that a Windows Update (Security Update) which can
happen without your knowledge and without requiring a restart changed
a setting in Defender and/or the Windows Firewall.
Finally, I just re-installed Writelog on the shack PC - and that
solved everything with the WL Remote connection. Why? Who knows.
Again, I would suspect the re-install re-enabled whatever port, etc.
had been "turned off" by the Update.

After a lot of troubleshooting, I still don't know why my PC was rejecting the
Writelog Remote in recent days. When I got home early this morning, I couldn't
even get WL Remote to work when I was in the house and on the same Wi-Fi system.

I sure wish I had thought of that during WPX SSB, but at least it is now on my
troubleshooting punch list for the future.
