Remote Panel viewing not possible

[guddu]

I am trying to view the front panel of my Vi using web-publishing tool but whenever i try to connect from the same host on which i am running the vi or a different host i get an error "Your internet address is not allowed to retreive documents from this server".  I have used web-publishing tool from this computer before and it used to work. I do not remember making any changes in the setup. Any clue why do i get this message ???

guddu,

That is an interesting issue, so here comes the barrage of questions... Is this an National Instruments error, and if so is there an error number associated with it, or is this a Microsoft error?  Does this happen with all of your VIs or just this one?  I might suggest creating a small test VI and trying to use to web-publishing tool.  If this does work, is there anything "special" about the VI that might hinder it from being published (ie. VI Server, Datasocket, drivers, etc.)?  Please post back with some more information and we'll be glad to help.

Thanks for reply Andy. It is not a national instrument error. Its a microsoft error. This problem is encountered only on 1 machine out of 8 where i am running Labview.  It happens with all the Vi and some HTML pages too that i have saved in the WWW folder. So i guess its something to do with network connectivity to that machine. I am not very sure what shall i do now. Because its again not a problem of TCP/IP stack becasue i can go online from that computer and open all the websites. Let me know if you have some ideas to troubleshoot this problem.

Guggu,

Which files in the www folder are you unable to open?  Are they consistently the same files?  Is there anything different about that one computer that would not allow pages to be display that page, ie some security settings?  If you open the Web Publishing Tool can you Preview the page in a browser, or does this only happen when it is a HTML file?  This information should be helpful in determining the source of the problem.

I am able to open web-publishing tool and save my html page in the www directory and can open it from there. But i am not able to access it from the same host or any other host using IE/Mozilla. I was able to do it before a couple of months but i dont know what is wrong now. Also this problem is with all the files. When i type in the IP address of that computer and try to open any files located in the www folder i get an error "Your internet address (nbnwwebacs1.nbn.bshg.com) is not allowed to retrieve documents from this server ". I cannot open the files from that computer itself too.

guddu,

Have you checked to see if you have any special permissions set in Web Sever Options?  If you open LabVIEW, select Tools >> Options, then select Web Server: Configuration and make sure that the Web Server has been started.  Then check the Browser Access option to make sure that there aren't any blocked IP addresses.  You may just consider removing any permissions you have and entering *, which would allow everyone access.  If this doesn't help make sure that the computer itself allows access.  You may also trying to disable any firewall software as well.  If none of those things help, is there any changes that were made to this computer between the time that this was working and when it stopped?
