Hi nolsqn,

use the example finder. Search for TCP or TCP/IP. You will find lots of examples.

And if you are directly connecting the two pc's, be sure to use a cross-over cable.

I am trying  to send data between 2 pcs using ethernet . the examples  of tcp/ip in labview when i run them gives an error "network unreachable or reset".

[Dennis_Knutson]

Is the other pc reachable? Have you tried to ping it?

Hello,

I must admit I am a begginer with LabView and I would need some hel with this: 

what about data transfer using wireless?  I found no related examples in LabView examples.

Thanks a lot and have a good day!!

Hello Ana,

The TCP/IP comunication does not depend on if you have a wired or wireless connection.

The first thing you must know is that your PC's should have a network path between them.

Configure your internet connections on both PC's in order to assure that.

You can use the operating system ping command to check this.

If your both PC's are only connected to each other and not to some externeal networks like the Internet, you should also disable firewalls just to avoid having another variable to think about - afterwards you can even define some exceptions to your firewall setting to allow this communication. 

After this, the TCP/IP examples should work.

Hope this helps,

Paulo

People are actually trying to help here. See attached picture.

 Here is some useful tips for the Labview beginner (we have all been there some time)

1)Then starting a new Labview session enable context help (Ctrl+h). Do not be afraid to use the detailed help option

2)Then stuck, go to help in the toolbar then select find examples
