How to disable mDNS service without disabling USB devices

[vrv]

Hej Justin

I have tried install VISA 5.0.2, "route delete 0.0.0.0" and disable the National Instruments mDNSresponder service. Nothing helps. Running Win7 32bit. Do you have any other suggestions?

Vagn,

You need to do two commands:

   C:\ route delete 0.0.0.0

   C:\ ipconfig /renew

if you want to confirm that the route is deleted,

   C:\ ipconfig

Then look in the output for "Default Gateway". There should only be one ip addess listed

   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 172.18.144.5

Hey Micth

Thanks for the fast reply, but does not work. I have only one default gateway which is different for 0.0.0.0. I think the default gateway is not the problem.

The problem is: the "NI Device Loader" does not start because a dependency service failed to start.

The dependency service is "National Instruments mDNS Responder Service" --> "Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion."

"National Instruments mDNS Responder Service" files are physical on disc.

Tried following;

- Uninstall and reinstall drivers

- route delete 0.0.0.0

- disable "National Instruments mDNS Responder Service"

- Install VISA 5.0.2

Nothing helps. Then what??

Your problem sounds different than mine. You should probably start a new thread.

I'm new to NI hardware and I am discovering that some simple tasks have relatively complex solutions. For example,  I am reading values from a NI card that connects via USB (model: USB6008) and I'm baffled as to why the installer is almost 1 GB, and it installs and run 5 servvices.

Vagn - I had a similar problem that turned out to be due to not uninstalling LV 2010 beta before installing the released 2010 version

mDNS Responder depends on the NI System Web Server, so if that service does not exist or is named differently, can cause problems.

The NI System Web Server's Service name was NISystemWebServer instead of niSvcLoc.  Completely uninstalling all NI software and reinstalling fixed the issue for me.
