WIFI TCP connection error 63

[Matthuz]

Hi, I'm trying to run the tcp examples TCP Communicator Active and TCP Communicator Passive over a wifi connection between a Laptop with WindowsVista and a TabletPC with WindowsXp. The connection is working fine between the machines, I'm able to browse folders and transfer files from one side to the other.

Here is the problem....

First I run the TCP Communicator Passive Vi...and then the TCP Communicator Active....but I get always the same error 63: serial port recieve buffer overflow.

The firewalls on both sides are disabled, both vi are using the same port (by default 6342).

When I run these examples on the same machine, all works perfectly.

The TCP/IP option of the VI Server configuration is activated on both sides.

Can anyone help me with this issue?

Thanks

There is a second part to that error message which would be more applicable to your situation.

" 

=========================
LabVIEW:  The network connection was refused by the server. For TCP/IP, make sure the server is running and listening on the port you are trying to use. Firewalls can also cause a server to refuse a connection. For VI Server, make sure you have enabled VI Server from Tools>>Options>>VI Server:Configuration."

So the server is refusing the connection.  Could port 6342 already be open and in use by another process on one of the machines? 

In TCP communicator active, did you change the machine to the name or IP address of the machine running TCP communicator active?

Hello Ravens Fan!

Thank you for your answer. You are right, I was using the wrong machine name on the TCP Communicator Active.

I have changed the settings of the TCP/IP connection to use a fixed IP (previusly was on auto detection mode) and then I use that  IP adress for the TCP Communicator Active.

It's all working now 

Thank you again!
