Roku telnet connection no longer works - even after hardware restarts

Was rolling along nicely, debugging via eclipse. Suddenly got this message : 


Console connection is already in use.

I tried to connect via telnet also, on 8080 and 8085 - it just hangs there.
I've verified there are no connectivity issues my side, and that telnet is working.
I then did the following:

  1. Killed eclipse

  2. Killed all java

  3. Reset Roku (from menu)

  4. Restarted Roku (unplugged)

  5. Restarted mac

I simply can no longer telnet into the roku
Admin console on http is still there.

Can anyone help? I'm now totally stuck and unable to develop.

[EDIT] Uninstalled and reinstalled developer software. still no dice.

Okay PICNIC..

Yes - it had crashed pretty hard, so I needed all the restarts; but on my final round of tests, I got the ip slightly wrong (!)

Thanks all the same.

Sometimes (between connection drops, on the next day etc) Roku may get confused thinking it still has telnet client on 8085/8080 - and step #3 alone "fixes" that. But yes, have to have the correct box IP after that (troubleshooting step, try to ping it).
