Re: IP Format.
The above answer was for TCP Listen. For TCP open, you just wire a string which can contain a hostname (e.g. www.ni.com or a dotted decimal IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.100).
Re: IP Format.
You should not wire the net address. You only need to do so if you have more than one IP address. Use "String to IP" to convert a hostname or IP address to a network address, which is a simple U32 representation of the IP address, best displayed in HEX. (e.g. 255.255.255.255 = 0x).
IP Format.
I'm really to new to LabView. What do I select for IP address as a Input to "TCP Listen" or "TCP Open". I have been using "Num" but that is a constant number format, so where do I find "DOT-Format"?
