OPC Scout across network

9/22/2008 2:40 PM	Rate (0)
ChrisK Posts: 2 Rating: (0)	Hi all, I'm kind of new to PLC/OPC/WinCC, so bear with me if I'm not doing something obvious. I'm trying to get OPC Scout to connect across a network to a WinCC instance on another PC. I've gone into OPC Scout, added the server by IP address (verified by IPConfig and accessibility via VNC) and OPCServer.WinCC for the OPC Servername. I can successfully connect to a local WinCC instance running on my machine with OPC Scout on my machine, and can connect to the local WinCC on the other machine with its local copy of OPC Scout. When I try to connect to the remote WinCC via OPC Scout, I get the following error: &H46 'The remote server has been paused or is in the process of being started' I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I even tried a totally different PC connecting to my local WinCC instance and got the same error message. I've checked what documentation I could and everything appears to be set up properly. I can't seem to find this error message anywhere, so I'm at a loss as to what to do next. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Chris
