Dear All
I have been stuck in this problem for some days and my installation process is on a hold.

My Problem is:

I have connected the PC network as following Diagram included.

Here my PC1 Will be Server and PC2 Will Be client

When i Configured my Server PC and Client PC as given settings from manual and tried to access from Client PC(From WinCCExplorer/Open/<NetworkPath>) Always an error message appears with "Server Not Available" Dialog !!!!!

For Resolving the problem I connected PC3 through WIFI Router as troubleshooting procedure.

After That i tried this steps:

1) When I make the PC 3 Server and access from PC 2 as Client (From WinCCExplorer/Open/<NetworkPath>) is OK But with same Project i cant access from PC 1("Server Not Available" Dialog!!!)

2) When I make the PC 1 Server and access from PC 3 as Client (From WinCCExplorer/Open/<NetworkPath>) "Server Not Available" Dialog Box appears

In conclusion the PC 1 Is not acting as a client or server!!!!

My Question is:

1) Is there any tricky configuration i did missed?
2) Is there any firewall or access permission problem?( I turned off the firewall of PC1)
3) Any Network Related Problem?
4) As there is two separate network card Installed is this a problem? (If so what is the resolve?)

And Also Please Suggest anything you need necessary.

In Simatic Shell do you "see" the Client from Server in the Network

In WinCC Explorer what do you see on server..?
Did you import the server package on client?
Did you setup Station Configurator
Connect directly with cable without routers.
