I can't get the VI Server/Client example to work on my PC

[keitaikeda]

Hi, I was trying to run the VI server and client example but the client could not find the server even when the server was running and both VI's were running on the same computer.

I checked the VI Server configuration and found that the TCP/IP was not checked off - so I enabled TCP/IP. This did not solve the problem.

Your help is appreciated

Are you running LabVIEW 7.0? The 7.1 version seems to work reliably but the 7.0 version does not to seem to work most of the time. I am having the same problems as you describe. Must be some bug in 7.0, but I have not had time to compare the code. Anyone?

Don't run the server first. I know it says to run the server
first but DON'T run the server first. You should run the
client first. The client will automatically launch and run
the server.
