Peer To Peer Network Configuration

Windows 7 Peer-to-Peer Configuration

Overview

Pathways is a client/server-based application in which network clients access a single copy installed to the network server. Once installed, the server acts as a central repository for all program and data files, as well as an internal set of file location pointers. Since these pointers reside on the server, they are the same for every workstation accessing Pathways on the network. Consequently, the installation of Pathways must be done to a commonly mapped network drive on the server.

In a peer-to-peer network configuration, each workstation has the ability to operate as both a client and a server. However, with a client/server based application such as Pathways, it is necessary that only one workstation act as the server, with the other workstations, or clients, accessing Pathways from that single ìserverî. The installation of Pathways can either be performed from one of the workstations or from the server itself, as long as it installed to a drive that is common to all systems on the network.
