Hi All, I need to pass data in both directions between 2 pc's connected to the internet. I am aware of the various TCP/IP and data socket examples, I am using Labview 7.0. I dont know much about the ptotocol involved but figure I only need a few pieces of info. If the server machine wants to connect to a client machine on the same network I understand no changes are required to the example vis (ie port 2055 used in Simple Data Server). But what would happen if the server PC wanted to connect to a client in a different country? Is that when IP addresses are needed?
I imagine my final vi front panel will have a "This machines IP Addr" and "Client's IP Addr" text box, operators of the machines then tell the other person their machine IP address which is entered manually to setup a 2 way link. Is it possible to get Labview to find the full IP address of the machine ready for the other user to type in. Thanks in advance Regards Chris
