Force Application to choose network interface

[Olivioloyer]

Hi Everyone,

My target computer as two NIC,

Eth1:

IP: 192.168.0.14

Mask: 255.255.255.0

GateWay: 192.168.0.254

Eth2:

IP: 10.2.5.168

Mask: 255.255.0.0

Gateway: Blank

Eth1 is supposed to be connected to the network, Eth2 is only connected to a camera.

I use a Blank String Control connected to the string to IP VI as in the attached pic to retrieve the computer IP address and use it to find the presence of another equipement on Eth1 subnet,

Unfortunatly when the Eth2 cam is connected and configured the blank string control gives back the IP of the Eth2.

According to this page http://www.ni.com/white-paper/12558/en I have set the right configuration, but I still have this problem.

How can I force the soft to use the right NIC

I have also read this topic: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Allow-user-to-select-the-which-NIC-to-use-for-network/... and I don't understand why it has been rejected

Thanks a lot,

Right click on string-ip and select multiple output. You should then be able to perform a check on the array to pull out the relevant IP address.

edit: Here's a way to show all the IPs as an array of strings. Probably not the most elegant or efficient way to do it though 🙂
