changing port tcp

[lav]

hi, i'm trying to simulate switching acquisition from two separate servers using a modified simple server and client example. im trying to do it by changing the port number in the client to the ports i have set the servers to but it will only switch if i stop and start it, is there anyway to get past this? also it now wont connect again after stopping the client even though the server is still running.

cheers

Looking at your attachment I see that this question is related to LabVIEW, so you would prefere to post it to the appropriate forum.

Anyway, in my opinion you should be able to connect to different servers opening a separate connection with each of them. I'm not so fond on LV so as to discuss it, but in Labwindows/CVI every TCP connection has a unique handle that identifies it, so it's possible to have more than one connection active at a time: I'm almost sure that LV has a similar way of differentiating several connections.
