Problems with data socket connection

Question

I have two computers on a network both running labview. I would like to
exchange the value of a variable in both directions. For example
computer A sets the variable to a certain value, computer B reacts and
changes this variable. Computer A now reads the new value.
So I tried this using (front panel) data sockets but I could not
establish a connection the way I want it. Also I couldn't find answers
here or in the labview help file, so I hope you can give me a short
hint on how to do that (do I need to run socket server on both
machines? What IP address do I need to enter in the front panel dialog?)
Thank you very much,
Michael

Answer 1

Thanks for the Port number, I got it to work now.
I will summarise what was necessary to establish a connetion in case other people are interested:
If you need a bidirectional communication between computer A (IP:192.168.0.1)
and B (IP: 192.168.0.2) the following steps may be necessary:
- Run DataSocket Server on *both* computers before you start LabView
For communication A to B:
- Select a variable on computer A, and enter the following in the connect to field:
   "dstp://192.168.0.1/var1", click on "publish"
- Create a variable of the same type on machine B and enter in the connect to field:
   "dstp://192.168.0.1/var1", click on "subscribe"
For communication from B to A do the following:
- Select a variable on computer B, and enter the following in the connect to field:
   "dstp://192.168.0.2/var2", click on "publish"
- Create a variable of the same type on machine A and enter in the connect to field:
   "dstp://192.168.0.2/var2", click on "subscribe"
Maybe this is not the most elegant way because I don't know how to use the "Publish and subscribe" field
but at least it works this way.
