How do I connect between multiple computers using DataSocket?

[boneskier]

Specifically what do I put into the DS Server given two different machines? Then what do I specify when executing ConnectTo with the ActiveX control? I want to have one master machine and N slave machines that talk back and forth. The slaves do not need to communicate with each other. It would be probably sufficient just to know how to do this using the NI example DSTransceiver.vbp.

Hello

So what you have is the datasocket server running on the master machine, and set the security permissions so that the slaves will be able to write and read to/from the server. With that setup, you can have the slave machines connect to it using the following string
dstp:///

You can see this string if you check out the datasocket examples installed with Measurement Studio.
