configuration is necessary.
The server and client may be run on the same computer for evaluation purposes. The product requires a Microsoft 'Workgroup' network. The shareware versions may be used to check connectivity. Note that Windows XP service pack 2 was known to affect remote procedure calls (Service pack 3 corrected it). The Windows firewall being disabled may also simplify any connectivity issues.
