I'm a novice with Rockwell s/w and a rookie working with virtual machines. I needed a way to support multiple FTView ME versions. so I set up a Win7 Host machine containing several versions of RSLogix/Studio 5000 and two Oracle VmBox Win7 VMs - one with FTView ME 8.1 and one with FTView ME 9.0. I've successfully set the license activation path for the VMs to use the IP address of the host PC.
This has worked great so far for creating and editing my programs. It is now time to run them. I can download/execute/go online with the Studio 5000 software from the host machine. My problem has to do with network access from the VM using FTView ME. I can successfully use RSLinx from inside my VM, configured to 'browse remote subnet' to find my controller and see my modules, but when I try to set up my device shortcut in my VM FTView project, I can't see any networked controller. It just sits there browsing but never builds the controller/module tree, so I am unable to run my HMI.
Any ideas? Have I overlooked some Network or VM configuration?
Thanks
Tim
