Hi,

Make sure you have configured the hosts and lmhosts files for name resolution between PCs:

What are the requirements for operating SIMATIC WinCC in a Windows network?

Hi,

I have the same problem with the first commentator; while trying to set a server client configuration in WinCC Pro V14 SP1 UP10, I linked two pcs with a standard ethernet cable, connected them with TCP/IP v4 with IP Addresses and Subnet options filled up. The problem here is that when I go to “This PC→Simatic Shell” I only find my computer under “Simatic Shell” (I did update and choose a network adapter option under Simatic Shell→ settings).

I followed the video tutorial https://youtu.be/KDSVQJ0VOyM?t=664  . I did all the steps until 11:04, and the only thing is that I used an actual second pc instead of a virtual machine.

Also, If I need an update regarding my WinCC and TIA Portal versions, how can I convert a v14 project to the new version suggested.

Thank you in advance for Replying.

The experiences I have had with this:

1. Select the correct network adapter in the Simatic Shell
2. If encrypted communication is activated in the Simatic Shell, make sure that the same PSK key is used on server and client
3. Make sure that the name resolution works correctly
4. Enter the WinCC server as a multicast proxy in the Simatic Shell settings on the client
