Hi everybody,

I finally finished my first freelance project, now it's time to hand it to my customer, my problem is:
He wants me to install the software on 5 computers, with an original copy on one server where all the files and database used are kept there,
so I need to know if anyone can help me with that, I never did it before, and honestly I have no idea about it :S

So briefly "How to create a network for these users, and how do I connect them to use the same software's files and DB ??"

I know it's a lot to ask from you, but I had no other option !
Thanks in advance ...

Is your application a sharepoint one? What type of application is it?

It's a Client/Server application.. For now I only need to access the same database located on the server from all PCs on the network ...

If it's client/server, then you need to install all the server code and database on the server machine, and the client application on the others. If the customer's systems are not already networked then he will need to get them properly connected. Unless you are a qualified network engineer or supporter I would suggest leaving it to someone who knows what they are doing.
