Hi Rehan

You may check if the computers where you want to see your front panel have installed LabVIEW Run Time, maybe that could be the problem.

Also let me give you some links that may interest you

the computers that i'm trying to view on all have the the same versions of lab view, and they all have lab view runtime installed.

so please does any one have any other soloutions to this problem.

Hi Rehan

Can you send us a print screen of your browser when you try to load it. Maybe another problem would be that the configuration of the web publishing tool is set to a port that is close to the internet, trying using the pot 80.

Maybe this link could help you

Hi Rehan,

A few things:

1.  Have you configured the web server through Tools->Options->Web Server?

2.  Have you configured your computer's firewall to allow communications on the correct port?

3.  It would be helpful to know what version of LabVIEW, Windows, and internet browser you are using.

thanks guys for the help, these are the answers for your questions:

1. if you mean by configuring the web server that i have enabled the server then yes i have done that already.

2. if i can view the VI on my computer then i don't think its a firewall issue, even though what and how should i configure the firewall.

3. Labview version 8.2, windows XP and Opera or Internet explorer.

also i have attached a screen shot of my vi during web publication.

regards,

engr. rehan

Hi Rehan

I have this doubt, when you try to see your front panel in other computer, do you leave the original VI open in the host computer? Also check if you can see it on Internet Explorer instead of seeing it on Opera

Also I don't explain myself very well. Can you send us a screen shot of the browser where the Front Panel is not loading, where  the problem occurs.Thank you

Yes i always leave the original VI open in the host computer, and i have tried both of them Internet xplorer and Opera, thats why i have attched the print screens of both of them in this message (showing the error).

Here is how to allow access to a port in Windows XP:

What happens when you tried to change the port from default?  Have you tried a browswer like Chrome or Firefox?
