had this working on my old shack pc, trying to set the servier side up, do i connect to the radio via the virtual comport? If I do that, I cant input the host name, etc…..if I set for LAN, I cannot connect to the radio……sorry for the brain freeze, but I am obviously missing a step ?!?!?

Your IC-7610 has a built-in server. You do not need to run your own server.

Connect the Ethernet line to the rear of the 7610. Follow the directions in the Icom manual to enable the Ethernet and the radio control over the network and to add a user and password. Don’t forget to enable CI-V Transceive on the radio.

Open wfview on a computer on the same network. Configure wfview to the IP address of the radio. Enter in the username and password and press Connect.

yes, of course, I dont need it on the new shack pc, and its still on my laptop, now to try to figure out why I cannot connect.

So, do not use the USB port (you mentioned USB port in your initial post).

Can you ping the radio from your laptop?

I suspect it has something to do with my remote ddns name, standby, at least I am in the right church now, just need to find the right pew….

odd, I can ping my radios ip address and my remote name just fine, but cannot connect to the radio.

If you’re on the same network (not using your public IP address but instead using the radio’s IP address), what happens in wfview?
