I'm trying to access a webvisu from another pc on the same network and can't seem to get it working. I can enter localhost:8080 in a browser window on the PC running the softPLC and see the visualization, however from a different PC connected to the same network if I enter 192.168.1.42:8080 in the browser address bar, I get a timeout message. I have confirmed the windows firewall has rules to allow inbound connections for Codesys, and created a custom rule to specifically allow port 8080. I can ping the PC with the codesys soft PLC, but that's honestly about the extent of my networking knowledge. Both computers are connected via WiFi, but I don't expect that should make any difference.
I have an IFM CR1203 HMI/PLC that I configured with a webvisu and it is viewable from a client PC, I think I've done the same things to setup a webvisu on the Codesys soft PLC, but there must be something I'm missing. I haven't been able to find any webserver settings, I suspect the default settings for the soft PLC may be to block remote connections.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I added the webvisu.htm to the address and it still doesn't work.
I am using the demo license for the soft PLC, I'm unable to find a good description of features that are enabled or not on the demo license, is it possible the demo license doesn't allow remote connections to the web server?

It turns out the network setting for my computer was set to public instead of private, Windows was blocking incoming connections. I changed the network type to private and now I can interact with the webvisu remotely.

You have to add on your adress:
192.168.1.42:8080/webvisu.htm, if you haven't change name on visualization manager....

Demô mode have all fonctionnality, just runtime shutdown after 2hours

You just saved me, i just started playing around with webvisu lately and i came across this problem today.
