Unable to connect to the fpga compile server

Question

Hi, I keep getting the following message when trying to compile my FPGA code -> LabVIEW FPGA was unable to connect to the FPGA compile server.... System configuration: Win 7 64LV 2009 (32 bit) SP1LV FPGA 2009 SP1cRIO 90249114 Chassis I am developing and compiling on the same machine with the cRIO attached through a wired router. I've tried repairing the FPGA installation with no changes.  The attached screen shots are displayed in the order they are pasted Any insight would be appreciated - thanks in advance!

I appear to be having similar difficulties with compiling a FPGA VI remotely with LabVIEW 2010.
The remote compilation server is a PC running XP 64 bit. I have configured the compilation worker to allow remote connections and it lists it registered capabilities as Xilinx 10.1, Xilinix 11.5 and Xilinx 11.5 (64-bit). This can be seen in the attached png.
My development system is running XP 32 bit with LabVIEW 2010. It is connected to the server via a local area network.
The process I have been following is as follows;
1.) Log onto the server PC and start the compile worker (this is either physically or by connecting via remote desktop and then disconnecting but leaving the PC logged in with compile worker on)
2.) Set up the FPGA compilation settings on the development computer to be the server (hostname, domain\username, password)
3.) Try and rebuild the target VI
I then receive an error stating that the user name is too long or invalid (see png).
I have set the exceptions in the server firewall to allow port 96 as I found that this is the default port used for earlier version of the compile server but I am unsure if this is applicable in 2010. I need to check with my IT services that exceptions I add are actually applied.
If I go into the compile worker settings on my development PC and try and set them to that of the compile server then it also fails to connect.
