IP address is not on the target's allowable access list.

Question

when trying to deploy a lvlib or downloading code from a PC to a FP controller I get this error message "Access denied: This host computer's IP address is not on the target's allowable access list.". I have added the PC's IP address from within Max on the access list of the FP target (althoug default is full access to everyone). This did not help, I still get the same error message. Both systems are on the same IP segment.

Hello,
Short of time right now, but I had the same problem: Here is a dump of my own notes on how I solved the pbolem (not necessary to reinstall software):
I attempted to update these data with Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) using the "FieldPoint Access Control" panel in MAX: I set "*" and Read/Write and pressed "Apply": MAX Claims it has updated the Access Rightsm, but we are still unable to Deploy the CFP from the Project Explorer.
SOLUTION:
Use WS_FTP-PRO (or any FTP Client) and access the IP Address of the FieldPoint using anonymous login.
Transfer the file ni-rt.ini from the root of c:\ on the Fieldpoint to the local PC and edit the settings as shown below.
FTP the file back to the Fieldpoint.
Set the following settings in "server.tcp.access" and "RTTarget.IPAccess":
server.tcp.access=""+*""
NOTE: Double Quotes here
RTTarget.IPAccess="+*"
NOTE: Single Quotes here
+* means every IP address can access.
It turned out that MAX had left the following (probably illegal) values in the fields:
"""" and ""
