How do I fix this issue of the OPC server getting stuck on connecting and never actually connecting. I’ve attached the console log. When I go to the OPC server connections page the status shows faulted. But when I click on the link to view the connection status it says that it’s connecting. Something is stuck.

Can you give support a call while it’s in that state and let them look? I can’t really see what the problem is from the logs.

Kevin  
I ended up restarting my computer and that seemed to fix it. Not sure what the root of the problem was.

I had mine do this the other day, but I had just restarted the system and was in the process of changing my IP to the normal one. I didn’t wireshark it, but I suspect it was confused as to the path.
