ConnectToTCPServer returns WSAE_UNKOWN

I get the WSAE_UNKOWN error when trying to connect to an existing server at port 15706. What does this mean?

Hello Willie,
WSAE is a common error prefix returned by the Microsoft Windows Sockets (winsock). Do you know what the return value of ConnectToTCPServer is? It should be an integer that hints at the error (though if the OS does not know, CVI likely does not either). I would recommend testing the networking on this particular machine. Try to ping your target machine from the command line, then try to telnet to this specific port on the target machine using something like "telnet target.machine 15706". If this generates similar errors, then your machine likely needs its networking reinstalled and/or reconfigured. If the telnet works without error and the problem cannot be determined, then you may consider contacting us for support at http://www.ni.com/ask.
