Do a full port scan sudo nmap -p- 192.168.0.40  without the -p- nmap only looks for a limited number of ports. You can also just look for the port sudo nmap -p 20060 192.168.0.40

I have been playing with the settings, and using the -p- option on nmap after each change.

With all network settings turned off, these are the open ports:

Starting Nmap 7.80 ( nmap.org ) at 2025-09-24 12:41 EDT
Nmap scan report for 192.168.0.40
Host is up (0.00059s latency).
Not shown: 65525 closed ports
PORT      STATE SERVICE
6466/tcp  open  unknown
6467/tcp  open  unknown
7000/tcp  open  afs3-fileserver
8008/tcp  open  http
8009/tcp  open  ajp13
8443/tcp  open  https-alt
9000/tcp  open  cslistener
38725/tcp open  unknown
38877/tcp open  unknown
41815/tcp open  unknown
MAC Address: 88:C9:E8:31:B7:84 (Unknown)

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 3.33 seconds

Turning on Remote Start does not open up any new ports, but it does keep the network alive when the TV is turned off.

The setting for Remote Device Settings:  Control Remotely, opens Port 80 and Port 8579.

Under Home Network, turning on the Renderer opens Port 41824 and Port 52323.

Adding Simple IP control opens Port 20060.

I am still getting a Device not connected error from MyServer. 

Port 20060 is open.  It must be some kind of authentication issue.

Yes enable simple IP and make sure its authentication is turned off.

This is the issue.  The choices for authentication are "Normal" or "Normal And Pre-Shared Key".

Looking at the Bravia documentation, it looks like authentication is required for use of the REST API.  But Simple IP Control does not even support authentication.  Perhaps this has changed?  Or perhaps you could write a driver that uses the REST API, with a Pre-Shared Key that you create?

The driver does not use the rest api.  It's always possible sony change the protocol on us. I can look into it next week after I'm done with my move.
