So I'm running a couple of VM's in VMWare.
VM1(Windows 7 Ultimate): RSLinx Classic 3.74 with RS Emulate 500 and I have an OPC topic set up for the processor. I can connect locally with the OPC Test Client.
VM2(Windows 10): After setting up a connection, I could browse to connect via automation direct Point of View and I can browse the Topic, and see the Online Folder, but nothing past that, making me think something is preventing a remote host from seeing the tags. I can browse the OPC server with National Instruments OPC Client, and read the tag value, but the subscription fails with an unknown RSLinx error.
Host OS(Windows 10): Tried to connect via the National Instruments client and I can't see either VM.
I can browse all machines with Netbios and see each file share. I have also temporarily disabled private firewalls. All virtual machines are on a bridged network setup and seem to be functioning fine, though I could not browse the VM's from the host machine with host-only networking enabled.
Not being able to browse past the online folder, and getting an unknown rslinx error makes me think the two are related.
