How to Connect the Server and Client Computers

Many incoming email that asks How do I connect the server and the client computer? I always replied via email. So rather than have to answer by email then I post the answer here.

How to connect a client computer and a server? actually quite easy, as follows:

To use the client software is required at least 2 computers connected in LAN network :

1. one computer as a server (the server software installed)
2. one or another client (client software installed)

How to Connect the Server and Client Computers

1. setting the IP server with a static model such as 192.168.1.1
2. on the server go to C:\Program Files\SoftwareName looking dbfile folder.
3. sharing folders full
4. client clicks on the connect icon and navigate to the server database, for example: \\192.168.1.1\dbfile
5. select the db file that appears and click ok
6. client already connected

To set the user authority is only done on the server computer in a computer program then the client will read the appropriate user and password settings are included.

Additional way of connecting computers to the server and client on windows 7 and windows vista the same way but there are special ie: the server software is not installed in c:\ but in d:\ or other origins not in c:\

1. setting the IP server with a static model such as 192.168.1.1
2. on the server open D:\SoftwareName locate the folder dbfile
3. sharing folders full
4. client clicks on the connect icon and navigate to the server database, for example: \\192.168.1.1\dbfile
5. select the db file that appears and click ok
6. client already connected
