LabVIEW Web Services For Multiple Clients

[VishnuMVP]

Hi All,

         I am not able to connect the Labview Web service to multiple clients. (The link created in the LabVIEW web service is working in my pc if I tried to run in different PC's it's showing the server is not found.)

         Also, I have tried to change the Web server configuration settings but it's not working.

         I want to know whether I can able to run the LabVIEW Web service in multiple clients or not, if possible what configuration settings should I change?

FYI, I am using Labview 2014 32bit running on Win10 64bit

I'm a bit confused by the terminology you are using in terms of running the LabVIEW web service on multiple clients.  I take it that you are wanting one PC to act as the host for the LabVIEW web service and you want multiple client computers to be able to access the web services via the web browser.  Is that correct?

If that's the case, my guess is that either:

• you are using localhost instead of the hosting PC's actual IP address (reference section "Accessing the Web Service with a Client" in https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/labview/page/tutorial-creating-and-publishing-a-labview-web-ser...)
• if you are using the IP address, your computers are not on the same network and thus one computer cannot access the web service hosted on the other computer
• if neither of the above two cases are the cause, then perhaps your hosting computer has some security rules that may not allow other computers to access certain ports that need to be open so that the web service is accessible.

Hi Kemens ,

                  Thank you for the reply and I got my problem solved . I tried with PC's actual IP address instead of localhost , now I can able to run in multiple client computers.
