CAN I USE THE CLIENT SERVER WITHOUT A WIRELESS ROUTER?

Just needs to be some sort of network connection. Doesn't matter if it's wireless.

Could be two laptops connected with a crossover cable. Could be laptops in two different houses. Just as long as there is a network connection.

What were you thinking of using?

3 LAPTOP COMPUTERS WITH WIRELESS CARDS?

If you can get the laptops to talk to each other, then the software should work.

However, my hunch is that you'll need a router for your situation (unless there's something I don't know). Wireless cards can't talk to each other...they need a router to go through.

Anyone?

You can connect 2 computers together using wireless cards. For any more than that you will need a Wireless Access Point, or Router with Wireless Access Point.

And you gotta turn Caps Lock off...

I Haven't started using this software live yet--This Saturday will be the first time. I have noticed a couple of thing Wireless and Wired.
When I have the server wired and the client wireless and I stop the timer for more then 45 seconds the client disconnects. This same happens when both server and client are wireless (Laptops) Is there a way to prevent this? After I restart the timer from the server nothing happens on the client. That's when I see the red line on the server page that it is disconnected. When I try to reconnect the client it just hangs. I end up shutting the process down. This would cause issues if the tourney was running live.

Any help appreciated.

Lately when we are testing the client/server - as soon as the client connects - the server PC locks up solid.

Going to do try a different PC later.

Not to beat an old drum, but I'm pretty sure that an Airport-equipped Mac can create a network (without an access point) that is not limited to 2 wireless nodes.

Major client/server enhancement coming very soon. Major.
