Problem showing remote systems in MAX

[gcrowell]

I am having trouble viewing traces set up on remote systems in Max.  I am using version 4.2.0.3001.  Whenever I try to set up a new remote system, it cannot find any remote computers.  I have tried using both the computer name (which is resolved to an IP address in the hosts file) and the just IP address.  I get this error:  "Unable to initialize connection to remote system(s)."

I am able to ping the remote computer and browse to it in Windows Explorer.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Do you want to view the data in Citadel database? 

How do you "set up a new remote system"? To view the trace, you just need to create the trace viewer. Select Historical Data->Citadel 5 Universe, right click on it and New->Trace View.

You don't need to expand the "Remote System", unless you try to connect fieldpoint or pxi.

You'd better post this problem in LabVIEW forum or the Instrument Control forum.
