connect to webservice

Settings look good.

IP-Address (or external ip or public ip) is the same from every computer you access there service. 

On the server PC which runs the Web service you can additinally use 127.0.0.1 or localhost to access the service.

I tried to connect to the webservice using a browser on my server, and used the external IP of the server just to test, but it did not work.

Can you see the Service in the Distribute Service Manager? Not only under localhost, but also under you servers name?

In Options -> Web Server -> Advanced Settings -> IP Address of listeners you have to choose "Listen on all net addresses"

1. I can see the service in  Distribute Service Manager under my server name and local host.

2. I cannot find  Advanced Settings in web server options

Sorry i´m still using LabVIEW 2009 😉 Options might be renamed since in recent version.

When it appears in Ni DSM, than your usually almost there.

Install a small webserver and try to fix your router settings until you can reach it. 

Then start again to use LabVIEW Webservice

I will try to do what you suggested.

I will post back if I get any luck.

Thank you for your time jojp

I renabled the firewall then disabled it again and now it works.

Also to be able to connect from an external network, I had to forward the 8080 port to the IP of my server.

Thanks for giving feedback.
