A message says RT sys isn't connected to the net. I can ping and it responds.

I am trying to connect to a PXI-8145 RT controller using ftp via internet explorer. It was working before,and now I get a message saying the real time system is not connected to the network. I can ping the address, and it responds just fine. I can also target the RT system and run vi's on it. How do I get ftp to start working again?

Hello Rhalter,

This is in fact a strange issue. Are you able to FTP to the controller from MAX i.e right click on your 8145RT controller and select File Transfer. If it comes up asking for a username and password, just hit OK and see if you are able to get in.

Yes, I can ftp using NIMax. I can also use other ftp software. The problem seems to be with ie.

Hello,

Since you are able to FTP using MAX and other software, I would think that you might be having some kind of setting that is blocking IE. I did search for some issues in our database and entering ftp:\\ip address works always. Have you tried accessing the RT controller from another computer using IE? I would defnitely look more closely into IE settings because everything else seems to be fine.
