Subject: Windows EPICS problem

Folks,

I'm having a strange problem on a Windows XP machine.  I am running a
soft IOC on that machine, but I can't see its PVs from any local CA
client (caget, IDL, medm, etc). 

 However:
- CA clients on that Windows machine can see PVs on all other machines
on the network
- CA clients on other machines on the network can see PVs on the Windows
machine

So the problem is only that local Windows clients can not see the PVs
from a soft IOC running on the same computer.  This is only happening on
this computer, not other Windows computers running the same IOC binary.
(They are not running at the same time, so it is not a duplicate PV name
problem).

None of the EPICS environment variables are set except:
EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES=10000000
EPICS_DISPLAY_PATH=P:/epics/adl

The Windows Firewall is not running, nor is any other firewall that I am
aware of.

What could be wrong?  Of course I need this machine to be running an
EPICS demo tomorrow!

Help!

Thanks,
Mark

Hello Mark,

I never had such problems with inactive Firewall. But just to be on the
safe side, add TCP/UDP ports 5064 and 5065 under Window Firewall ->
Exceptions -> Add port
