Network Identification
The Identification tab (located in Settings, Control Panel, Network) provides information
on the Computer Name and Workgroup associated with the network. The Computer
Name here on the “server” system is used by Sitespan for identification. It is important
that this is unique. The Sitespan Client requires this name in order to connect to the
correct Sitespan Server.
The Workgroup name should be the same for the “Client” and “Server” machines. The
default Workgroup is “WORKGROUP”.
Installing MS Loopback Adapter
The MS loopback adapter should only be installed on the computer that is going to be the
Sitespan Server PC. It allows a remote machine, connecting via RAS, to see the Server
identified in the Network Neighbourhood window. It is not essential to the function of
Sitespan Client/Server set-up.
