Hi,
I think its normal if you are downloading a large enough file through a low enough
bandwidth connection.
I regularly download applications through a dial-up connection. As each sub-vi is
downloading the "waiting for...respond" message comes up until that sub-vi's download
is complete. Everything is just fine when its all over.
If I pull up the XP connection status window while I'm getting these messages, the download
is invariably still chugging along, kbyte by kbyte.
I tend not to see this at all when I drive over to the fieldpoint, physically connect to the
controller via an ethernet crossover cable and spray away.
Perhaps this message is intended for some other problem which can occur; it is certainly
misleading with a slow connection, if harmless (as long as you don't hit the "abort" button).
Bob
