I am having a problem of interfacing the E5071B with the external computer (operating system-Windows XP) using LAN interface (University Network). Interfacing using
GPIB using is working fine. When I use the Agilent Connection Expert to
find out the instrument through LAN, it is giving error of "Connection
request rejected or port not found on this host". Could you please help me out to resolve
this problem?
Please note that I have tried according to the manuals and also used "How do I configure my Agilent IO Libraries Suite 14 to communicate with my Agilent ENA Network Analyzer via LAN?" which I got it from the Agilent website., still the problem is not resolved yet!
Please note that "Instrument web interface.†is not working through the VNC sever.

What type of connection are you wanting to setup SICL-LAN (Remote GPIB) or Sockets? In your IO Libraries, does any appear under "TCPIP0"? If so, and you are trying to use SICL-LAN (VXI-11) then you will need to create a new TCPIP interface (e.g. TCPIP1) and use this interface for the Remote GPIB interface.
Also, what version of the IO Libraries Suite are you using? If you are using 14.1, please make sure that that you add patch 2 or upgrade to 14.2 as there was a bug associated with SICL-LAN communication with 14.1 without the patch.
What is enabled under System->Misc Setup->Network Setup, SICL-LAN or Telnet? If both are enabled then Sockets is the dominant communication method. If you wish to use SICL-LAN then please only have this one set to "ON".
Also, please make sure that you can ping the ENA. If you cannot then there is no hope of getting an actual connection. If not, this could be due to a firewall blocking the port or the network settings on the ENA not being set properly. First step would be to try disabling the Windows Firewall (under Control Panel -- if enabled) on your PC.
