Mads, Thanks for that, I am struggling, My current PC configuration is one 98SE PC connected to the internet using broadband and a XP laptop connected to the net using a 56.6k modem. I tried using Simple Data Server, Simple Data Client vi's. I found what I think is the IP address of the PC which I set to server and tried substituting the text "localhost" on the client vi with the PC IP address.
I can get both vi working on one machine at the same time but I cannot the get the client to receive data via internet (TCP/IP ?) on the laptop. Is more IP address needed? ie. default gateway & subnet mask or is the IP address enough? Help. Regards Chris
