[Paraview] [paraviewweb] trouble with paraviewweb on windows

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Hi Pjotr,

I get a similar behavior from someone else which had some network
configuration issue on the ParaViewWeb server computer. To check if
you have the same problem, you can try to start a visualization
session with PWApp and go to PWService to "Quit" that running session.
And if you get an error, this should help you to identify the
miss-matching network configuration on that computer.
