1 ShipRite Network Setup for Windows 7 Users Before you start PLEASE NOTE: For peer to peer networking, designate your busiest POS workstation the ShipRite designated server! If your network ever goes down, you will still be in business on the server. PLEASE NOTE: You must network your computers physically before you network the ShipRite software. Your computer technician will help you with this issue or you can just follow the directions that came with your networking kit. To test and see if you are ready to network the ShipRite software, go to each computer and double click on the Network icon. You should see each computer in the workgroup/servers listed by the name of each computer. If this condition is met, you are now ready to proceed. Install ShipRite V10 on each workstation. PLEASE NOTE: There are many ways to set up a network, but, you must follow the steps below to set up the ShipRite software network operation our way if you wish to receive technical support from us. PLEASE NOTE: Windows NT users cannot load ShipRite on a NT Server. There are no exceptions; if you do this and your server fails, pleasedon t call us. PLEASE NOTE: Peer to Peer: In order to set up shared access of the ShipRite database you must first establish a shared folder on a designated server machine. Once this is done, each workstation must map to this shared folder in order to access theshiprite database. PLEASE NOTE: Novell: Rights that have to be assigned to the user are RWCEMFA. Install the ShipRite software on the client pc first, then install to the Novell mapped network drive. Network File Sharing On The Server Page 1
