Specify a target or device by IP address is disable

When I want to create new target FPGA in my project. Only  Discover an existing target(s) or device(s)  is available and Specify a target or device by IP address  is disable. How to enable it?

Did it work before and now doesn't work? Or have you never had this option?

Sounds like you might need to install the NI CompactRIO drivers - you might have the FPGA module installed and perhaps the drivers for talking to RIO cards in your PC (e.g. PCI), but not the drivers for ethernet based chassis like cRIO etc.

Can you show us the list in MAX under 'software' showing what drivers you have installed?

It could also be the installation order - if you installed the drivers first it might not have installed the LabVIEW tools...it might also be you have a required service not installed/running correctly (e.g. ni network discovery, NI RIO server etc.)

You need to click the targets and devices under the project - not 'My Computer'. Adding targets to My Computer is for internal/USB cards, adding targets to the project is for devices that are not internally connected to your computer (e.g. ethernet cRIOs). I wrote all that and then saw it said 'Add Targets and Devices on My Computer' in your screenshot.
