Primary Software: Other NI Software>>NI Volume License Manager
Primary Software Version: 1.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I can't connect to my server machine. How can I be sure that my computer is able to contact my server?

Solution:

You can use Telnet.

1. Open a command prompt (Start Menu»Run.. and type in cmd).

2. Execute Telnet with the following syntax: telnet <servername> <port> 
 
     For example: telnet ServerX 27000

3. When the Telnet connection to the server is successful, a window will pop up with a cursor. The
     name of server will be in the title bar.

4. If the Telnet connection is not successful, the error will be Could not open connection   
  to the host, on port <port>: Connection failed

5. If the telnet connection does not work, make sure that both ports used by VLM are open. See
