I've attached the snippets for my writer and reader.</P> <P data-path-to-node="2">On the writer side, my endpoint name is 'writer' and on the reader side it's 'reader'. I'm entering the IPv4 address of the writer PC into the reader URL, but it’s still not working. Could someone please guide me and tell me if I'm missing something or if I'm entering the address incorrectly?<BR /><BR /><BR /></P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Bilal_7890_0-1767356281757.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://ip1.i.lithium.com/98fe9fa679c3597de51caa3b2b831780347437e8/68747470733a2f2f6e692e6c69746869756d2e636f6d2f74352f696d6167652f736572766572706167652f696d6167652d69642f33353235333369393344344445343644444646393735302f696d6167652d73697a652f6d656469756d3f763d76322670783d343030" role="button" title="Bilal_7890_0-1767356281757.png" alt="Bilal_7890_0-1767356281757.png" /></span>&nbsp;</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Bilal_7890_3-1767356589861.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://ip1.i.lithium.com/700507084d48beea2d8d339efc01b46a6e0261f2/68747470733a2f2f6e692e6c69746869756d2e636f6d2f74352f696d6167652f736572766572706167652f696d6167652d69642f33353235333669463143323242363431303237423932302f696d6167652d73697a652f6d656469756d3f763d76322670783d343030" role="button" title="Bilal_7890_3-1767356589861.png" alt="Bilal_7890_3-1767356589861.png" /></span></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Fri, 02 Jan 2026 12:24:12 GMT https://ni.lithium.com/t5/LabVIEW/Help-with-Network-Stream-Reader-URL-configuration-for-2-PCs-on/m-p/4464690#M1319077 Bilal_7890 2026-01-02T12:24:12Z https://ni.lithium.com/t5/LabVIEW/Help-with-Network-Stream-Reader-URL-configuration-for-2-PCs-on/m-p/4464693#M1319080 <P>remove the writer url from the reader.
