Important: For all Clients and Servers
All clients must be on the same local network as the server. In other words, you cannot run the program directly on a remote server (for example, a server in another city), as many features will not work. The server must be on the same network as the clients. If you wish to have remote users, you must have dedicated local machines connected to the server, and have the remote users remotely control the dedicated machines using software such as Radmin, LogMeIn or similar software.
