This one is driving me crazy. I have a system with a PC that has two Ethernet cards, one for the intranet and one for the test station I am developing. The PC also has a USB-6212 DAQ module for data collection and digital I/O. On my test station network, I have a FieldPoint and various other Ethernet-based devices. I have set the test station NIC to the highest position in the list by selecting My Network Places -> Properties -> Advanced | Advanced Settings... and clicking the up arrow on my test station NIC per an article on this forum.
When I open my project, and run it, my shared variable reads fail showing the intranet IP address in the error box. Well, I want the shared variables accessible on the test station IP address, which is 192.168.1.1. So, in Project Explorer, I right click on My Computer, select Properties, set Specify Custom Address, and enter 192.168.1.1 into the address field. When I do this, my DAQmx VIs stop working showing that the channels or tasks are for a device that does not exist. What? I right click on My Computer in Project Explorer, select New | NI-DAQmx Task, wait for DAQ Assistant to start, click on Generate Signals, Digital Output, Line Output and it reports that "No supported devices found". If I uncheck the Specify Custom Address, save, restart LV, and try to make a task, it works fine. This problem comes and goes and is very frustrating.
Has anyone else experienced this?
