LAN is a computer network covering a local area, such as a home or office. Before you proceed, the Server Module needs to be installed.

First you need to connect all your computers using a hub or better still, a switch which is much faster especially if you run a database that produces alot of network traffic. To set up connections to other computers, please refer to Windows documentation.

1. Install ADI-diary.NET on all computers you want to run the diary.
2. Decide which computer becomes the server. Generally you should choose the most powerful computer in your office.
3. On each client computer go to Network menu and select Local Area Network Connection.
4. On the right side of Database input box click ellipsis button
5. Click My Network Places
6. Click Entire Network
7. Click Microsoft Windows Network
8. Open Workgroup
9. Select computer name which is your server
10. Select ADI-diary.NET
11. Select Data
12. Click OK

The Database input box should now display: \\ComputerName\ADI-diary.NET\Data
You also can type it directly into Database input box

Select LAN Notification check box. If any change is done on any of the client computers or server itself, LAN Notification will make sure that all operators can see the changes immediately.
