Labview web server and firewalls

[Jr 381]

My data acquisition system is behind a firewall, so when I run Labview webserver to display the front panel vi over the internet, I can't view it using a browser. I've tried the same application at home where I have no firewall and it works. Is there anyway around this? I am using Labview 6i. I am very new to Labview and to networking. Any response is greatley appreciated.

Hello,

the firewall basically filters out all incoming traffic on the port 80,
that's the port on which the webserver listens for calls. I guess that your
company's website is located outside the firewall.

You can ask your system administrator to allow access to port 80 on your
machine. Though I doubt that he will grant it. I don't see another way
around than reconfiguring the firewall.

Cheers, Tobias

You probably are running the webserver on a company's intRAnet computer
which is not "on the internet" for security reasons. For this to be
accessible on the internet you need a computer with a static Internet
Address assigned to it.(like one of your company's servers).
