Hello,
I am trying to track down a problem with setting up network-published shared variables. I have two WinXP machines running LV 8.01 that are behind the same router and can see each other within windows. I load up the example "shared variable client-server.lvproj" on each machine, run the variable server.vi and the data item binding client.vi, and all works as expected on each machine. Now, when I try to change the binding of, say, "bound waveform" from machine A to machine B, by browsing to the "network items", I see the machine listed but no shared variables are listed-- it's just blank. Sometimes it says <Populating Node...> and just sits there until I cancel. The server vi is running on machine B and the variables are reported as deployed.
I have opened up the firewall by adding the ~5 programs listed in the knowledgebase article on each machine. I have also disabled the firewall completely but that didn't help either. Any suggestions?
