data socket port

[AJF]

I want to serve data sockets over the internet. I can get them to work over our local network (all the computers are 192.168.1.100, etc), but they're not working beyond our local network. Do I need to forward port requests on our router to enable this (we just have a simple DSL modem and a router)? In Labview, looked under Tools >> Options >> Vi Server Configuration and see Port 3363 listed. Is this the port that data sockets work on? If so, do I just need to configure the router to forward port 3363 requests to my computer that is running the data socket server?

Hi Alex,

It sounds like you have the right idea. Datasocket uses port 3015, so you should be able to forward requests to this port to a certain local IP address. The links below might be of some help to you:

Hope this helps,

Travis,
That's just what I needed. I opened up port 3015 and now everything is working fine.
Thanks,
Alex

Whenever you open the datasocket conection what do you type in the URL? Do you type your machine name, or you type your IP address?

To get other readers to read the data written to the Data Socket Server they would have to open a connection using the IP address in which the server is located right?
