tcp connection fails on NT machine

[rayjr75]

My tcp client connection fails when running on my NT machine. I get the error message "connection to server failed." I have pinged the server through an MSDOS prompt on this computer and it responds.

I have also used a different computer running windows 2000 to set up a TCP connection and that one works properly.

Both of these computers are on the same network and have IP addresses. Are there any settings needed on the NT machine to be able to set the TCP connection? Or, what other things could cause the connection to fail?

Hello

Does the server give any indication that a client was trying to connect to it? You might want to see if the server is rejecting that specific client because of some security permissions. I dont think its anything CVI might be doing though.

Thanks for the response. I found out what the problem was. I simply forgot to put the extension to the server name. Ex. servername.usa.xxxx.com Although, utilizing only the server name did work on the other computer.
