Hello,
I am trying to link to a GPIB/ENET 1000 via IP address, but NI MAX cannot even see it (see image), even by looking for the actual IP Address, although the PC can ping it (see image). I was used to be able to, but I lost the capability at some point last year.
Anybody has suggestions about what Windows 10 PC configurations might prevent the instrument from being discovered in NI MAX ?

You might want to make sure that you have the correct drivers. Some of the GPIB devices fell off of the support chain, ENET/1000 is not there yet.
For example ENET/100 devices can not be used with LV more current than 2017 and the the 488.2 driver has to be earlier than 17.0. GPIB-USB-B devices became obsolete after LV2017.
488.2 to hardware to drivers indicates that you have lots of choices
488.2 driver to LabVIEW indicates has less choices
LV version Driver versions
2020 20.0
2019 20.0, 19.5, 19.0
2018 20.0, 19.5, 19.0 18.5
For completeness here is a table for LV and operating systems

Hello!
I have encountered and solved a similar issue. For me, MAX gave the error “the selected interface could not be added to the system” when trying to add the device. Have you verified that the device is on the same subnet as the computer you are using? If so, you might just need to re-add the device in MAX by manually entering the IP address in the GPIB Ethernet Wizard. You may need to attach the device directly to your computer to configure it.
If that doesn't work, reset the device, make sure it is on the same subnet, and follow the steps below:
This was done on Windows 10 - MAX version 18.5. If the IP address is not known, or if the device has a password different from the default, then the device will need to be reset.
