Do you need a web browser and internet server to run LabVIEW remote front panel?

Does anyone know if ones needs an internet server to use the Remote Front Panel application of LabVIEW, or is it also possible to use a LAN/WAN for the same application?  if it is possible, how does one set up such a system?

You can do this on any IP based system (which includes LANs).

Basically, you need to be able to ping the server and to have the RFP port allowed in the firewall.
Then you need to enable the option in the application. If this is an executable, you will need to configure this in the Options dialog or copy some lines from the LabVIEW.ini file into your EXE's INI file. You will also need to take the htm file created by the publishing wizard and make sure it points to your VI and that it is located in a place where it can be accessed from outside the server (read the LV help or search the site for more on this).

Then, you just need to enter the URL for that htm file in the browser on the client (e.g. 192.3.42.5/c/rfp.htm) and it should load.
