Radio is not found when running SWRPlotter6k

I'm trying to run SWRPlotter6k with my 6300 and I'm getting "no radio found" errors. I'm using Windows 10 and SmartSDR v1.10.16. I believe the radio is on the LAN OK (the TX icon in the lower right of the screen is green). I've tried restarting both SmartSDR and the plotter program. I must have overlooked something. Any suggestions? Thanks.

B ob,
How is the radio connected to your PC? Direct to your computer or through a router?

Same here - 6300 is connected directly to computer.

If radio is connected directly to the computer & not through a router, Windows considers that a separate network & SWRPlotter6k will not see the radio. Simplest solution is to plug the radio into your router. -- 73, Ray, K9DUR

Ray,
My radio is connected directly to my computer with an Ethernet cable. Thanks for your help.

Ray,
I just saw your earlier message. My problem is that the router is on the other side of the house from the shack, so plugging the radio into my router is not a good option.

I bought a little Cisco/Linksys 4 port to make things work. Think it ran me USD $44
If I were to do it again I'd consider a router with a Fiber port and a Fiber-to-Ethernet Transceiver at the radio for isolation. Would accomplish the same plus isolate & protect.

Bob,
Is your computer connected to your router via cable or wireless? If cable, then a small router at the computer would work. Connect the cable to your main router to the new router & connect both radio & computer to new router.
If wireless, you can try to set up a bridge between your ethernet adapter & your wireless adapter. Windows does not make this easy, but it is just about the only solution.

Ray,
The computer is connected to the router via wireless, so I'll try the "bridge" route. In any case, thanks very much for your help. I now understand the problem.

I found the problem to SWRPlottrer6k - Windows Defender Firewall
I tried all sorts of network connections including direct connect of the computer to the Flex6500. In a very rare moment of inspiration I found that temporarily disabling the firewall, the program (Version 2.0.0) works well. I tried to add SWRPlotter to the white list for Defender, but Windows continued to block. No problem, I can just switch off the firewall when running antenna plots. This is a great program for us Flex users, I recommend it!
