Troubleshoot the TCP/IP VIs error

[Learnin]

Hi everyone.

I have a simple objective. I just want to test the 2 example VIs, "Simple Data Client" and "Simple Data Server" between 2 computers. I just want to check whether is this working between the 2 computers.

What I have done for now is that I changed the "address", from "localhost" in the "Simple Data Client.vi" to the IP address of the computer running the "Simple Data Server". I runned the "Simple Data Server" VI in one of the computers first followed by the "Simple Data Client" in the other computer. Nothing is received and the client just timed out.

Can anyone please help me troubleshoot and tell me what are the possible problems for this? Are there any wires connections between 2 computers that I am missing or any other configurations I have to make before I can successfully do this?

Thanks.

Regards,

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan

The most common error is that the windows (or any other) firewall is active. Check if it is and in that case turn it off.
