DataSocket and two NICS?

[nealpederson]

I have an application where I want to communicate through two separate NICs
from one computer using DataSocket. LabVIEW 7.0 now supports multiple NICs
for TCP/IP but is this also possible with DataSocket? If so, how do you
control which NIC you go through? I couldn't find anything in the
DataSocket Server that allows you to specify which NIC you are using.

Hello nealpederson,

Thank you for your question regarding DataSocket. You mentioned that you would like to communicate through two separate NICs using DataSocket. This feature is not available in DataSocket. One possible solution may be to run DataSocket server on the client computers and send data to the desired target IP address on the computer with multiple NICs. However, LabVIEW would most likely send data out on all the cards that you have installed on the computer with multiple NICs.
