Hi Maxx,

in the URL you must change the computer name from localhost to the name the computer is know in the network.

If cannot reach this computer with the dstp protocoll a firewall, router or switch maybe located between them. You must allow packets for port 3015 to go through the network. This port is used by the dstp protocoll.

Be sure to have set the right permissions in the datasocket server manager for the groups and hosts.

Hi Maxx

There are different things to check:
1. Be sure to give the correct rights in the data socket server manager. The easiest way is to set the "DefaultReaders", Default Writers" and "Creators" to EVERYHOST. Of course you can change that afterwards.
2. Check that the DS server is running.
3. The DSTP Url looks like this:
dstp://machine where the datasocket server is running/data item

So, if you've to PC's one is named "TEST1" and the second "TEST2" and the DATA SOCKET server is running on machine named "TEST2" and the ITEM you write/read to is WAVE, then your URL should look on both PC's like this:
dstp://TEST2/wave

Insted of the machine name, you can use the IP adress too, e.g: dstp://145.123.167.123/wave

Hope this helps,
