error on listing servers

[Miky94]

I followed OpenOPC Library Tutorial:

import OpenOPC
opc = OpenOPC.open_client('<server-ip>')
opc.servers()

but when I try listing servers I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\Pyro\core.py", line 381, in __call__
    return self.__send(self.__name, args, kwargs)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\Pyro\core.py", line 455, in _invokePYRO
    self.adapter.bindToURI(self.URI)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\Pyro\protocol.py", line 330, in bindToURI
    raise ProtocolError('connection failed')
Pyro.errors.ProtocolError: connection failed

suggestions?

Did you replace the argument '' with your OPC IP address or hostname?

[Miky94]

yes of course

[xandrade]

Fine, did you try connecting first with an OPC client? May I ask for the OPC server you are trying to connect to? OPC DA? What about the brand? MatrikonOPC?

[Miky94]

I tried connecting first from the server itself (using localhost) and it worked , but not from another pc.
the OPC server is the Matrikon.OPC.Simulation.1 integrated in MatrikonOPC Explorer.
I also tried using instead the OpenOPC Command-line Client with opc -h <server-ip> -q
and I get: Error getting server list from <server-ip>' - servers: Unspecified error.
even this worked from the server itself.
I'm working in a LAN with windows firewall turned off on both client and server machines

@Miky94
I faced the same issue but when i turned off the firewall on windows ,I am able to connect to OPC server.
