If you have
LV on the computer that crashes, you might try to open the
Remote panel into LV instead and see if that works. It might also be
worthwhile trying a different version of web browser, or try Netscape
versus IE.
Once you have those results, if you feel it is a LV problem and not
caused by some flaky verison of a browser, please try to include the VI,
or something similar and file a bug report so that it can be investigated.
In general, most things should work the same, but there are some
exceptions. ActiveX controls do not remote very well, though depending
on what the application is doing and if the control is installed on the
remote computer it will work in some situations. Popup system dialogs
will not work very well. The file dialog for example -- should it show
the files on the remote computer or the server computer? Showing the
server files is a bit of a security issue, so this basically isn't
supported. And finally, you might find some scattered bugs having to d
o
with charts. Keeping their history straight with attribute nodes and
different network connection rates is pretty tricky and there some snags
here and there.
