Hi I am trying to implement a way in which I am able to know the IP of the host from my PC(both are connected directly to one another via ethernet). My host is transmitting periodically its info such as MAC n IP address. The destination port is 11000(I guess that this is the client(PC)). However, when I tried receiving data from my PC in this port using the UDP receiver example provided in LV 8.6, I don't get anything(It is blank all the time). Changing the time to -1 doesn't helps either. I am pretty sure that the host is using UDP to transmit its data because I am able to capture the datagrams in a program called Wireshark, Network protocol analyzer. Please help. I struck with this problem for a few days. Thank you.
