I'm unable to view VI remotely.

The web server connects at 192.168.0.xx. I'm able to view/control locally on my brower, but not on any remote computers.

Make sure you can ping the computer.

Make sure the port you selected is allowed in your firewall.

That is good advice. You should be able to view or control remote panels between any 2 IP adresses that can see (i.e. ping) each other. Furthermore, make sure that these other computers have the LabVIEW Run-Time engine installed corresponding to the version of LabVIEW that the code was compiled in. This is required to monitor and control remote panels. The LabVIEW Run-Time engine is available free for download from ni.com/downloads under Drivers and Updates.

Also note that depending on your version of LabVIEW, you only have a license for 1 or possibly 5 remote panel connections to your VI (5 for Professional Development System). If you don't have LabVIEW PDS, and you left your computer's internet browser connected to the remote panel while you tried to connect from the other computers, you would receive an error saying that you had exceeded your maximum number of available connections.

A license for additional connections can be purchased, usually in increments of 5.

Thank you for your advice. I'll install run-time engines and insure I can ping the remote computers.
