I am trying to setup a client and master vi on different machines. The Client VIs are setup on remote machines behind a router where the I.P. address is XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:102 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:103 etc... where the Master controller VI will be setup on a machine with a "normal" I.P address - outside the router. When I try to access these remote machines I get the error: Error 54 occurred at Open Application Reference in Master.vi Possible reason(s): LabVIEW: The network address is ill-formed.
There are 4 machines behind a router that then creates the different I.P.'s such as the XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:102, the router can be accessed just by the regular XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX I.P address. Can I use VI server when the different machines are behind a router? If so how do I address them? When I run the Master VI on a machine on the same side of the router (i.e. XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:101) I get no errors because from the other side of the router each machine has there own "normal" I.P. address. I really need to set up the Master VI from outside the router however because its on a laptop. Sorry for the long questions - I hope I made my questions clear. I appreciate any/all the help I can get. Thanks in advance - I really appreciate it! Greg
