Labview 8.3 Connecting to Internet

[sungam]

I am running a labview executable that makes repeated attempts to connect to the internet in the middle of the night to reference a NI website.  I am not connected to the internet not will I be.

Does anybody know how to disable this?

Hi sungam,

There is some services of NI which requires conection to internet.  Could you explain me about what the executable is doing?

Best,

Carmen C.

What does labview require that access the internet?  I am not a programmer so I am trying to work with my software Engineer to determine the problem.  The only drivers that we are using with the sub VI's are NICAN drivers and NI Daq drivers.

Services are installed along with LabVIEW installation, some of them requires internet connection.

Please refer to this link for further information.

First of all, there is no LabVIEW 8.3. What do you actually have?

If the standalone LabVIEW executable itself connects to the internet, it has nothing to do with any services that are installed along with LabVIEW.

Can you be more specific. What IP and port is it trying to connect? How often? How do you tell?

[sungam]

You are right that was a typo it is 8.5 that we are running.  The message that showed up in my event viewer indicated that there was anerror with associated with Labview.  The message is below:

LabVIEW information:  Error: 404 "Not Found" for "national instruments/ni-rpc/interface/eadfc80d-1e6f-425b-8986-12ccef98f646/ncalrpc", file "c:/program files/national instruments/shared/ni webserver/www/national instruments/ni-rpc/interface/eadfc80d-1e6f-425b-8986-12ccef98f646/ncalrpc": Can't access URL

This happens 10-20 times after a reboot.

Who wrote the program? Who made the executable (and installer)? What additional installers are included?

[sungam]

I am notr sure of the relevance, but Chris wrote the program.

Installer includes labview 8.5 runtime executible, NI CAN Driver 2.7.2 and the DAQmx(not sure of the version yet).

Also I inadvertantly clicked on the solution complete button.

You can unmark the message as the solution by going to the options menu to the upper right of the message.

Who is Chris?

It is relevant because if you know who wrote the program (a coworker? a 3rd party developer?), you might be able to go to them to find out why the executable may be trying to access the internet.

Chris is our only software engineer.  He has been adivsing me on all of these responses.
