>From NI: Problem: When I launch LabVIEW or the NI Example Finder for the first time on Window XP Service Pack 2, I receive a Security Alert dialog box with the following message:
To help protect your computer, Windows Firewall has blocked this program from receiving unsolicited information from the Internet or a network. Solution: Microsoft included additional network protection by enabling a firewall by default in Windows XP Service Pack 2. This firewall can affect LabVIEW and applications created in LabVIEW. If you select the Keep blocking this program option, the LabVIEW VI Server, LabVIEW Web Server, and any server written in LabVIEW cannot accept incoming connections from a remote computer. Select the Unblock this program, despite the security risk option to configure your computer to launch LabVIEW without any changes in functionality. If you have administrator access, you can configure the Windows firewall by using the Windows Firewall Control Panel applet. To give LabVIEW permission to receive incoming connections, select the Exceptions tab of the Windows Firewall dialog box, click the Add Program button and locate LabVIEW in the list or click the Browse button to navigate to LabVIEW. If you want to give only specific LabVIEW servers permission to receive incoming connections, you can create exceptions by clicking the Add Port button. For example, if you want to block all LabVIEW servers except for the VI Server, you can add the port for the VI Server in the Add a port dialog box. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Norman Kirchner > Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 3:14 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Win XP SP2 > > > HEY NI GUYS > > Does anyone how the new SP2 for WinXP is going to affect LV? > To the best of my knowledge, SP2 is going to have some major > effects on > the WinXP OS and the software which runs on it. > > Is LV going to need it's own sp? > > Norman J.
