Configuring the application to use dual network cards
Issues with Client-to-Server connectivity can be due to different reasons. Some examples are:
• The computer running the Server has more than one network interface card (NIC) installed.
• The computer running the Server is behind a firewall that performs network address
translation.
To make sure that Clients can connect to the Server, you may need to edit the IP configuration
setting in the Options dialog to manually specify the IP address that the Server should use to
communicate to its Clients.
