Enabling QuoteLink over a LAN

While working with a LAN one of the machines must be designated as the server. This machine will be the one responsible for holding the configuration file.

Create a text file with this path My Documents\QuoteLink\Remote.cfg or Documents\QuoteLink\Remote.cfg (for Vista) containing:

For the Server Machine
[SERVER=Yes]
For ALL client machines
[HOST=<server IP address>]

Make sure the server is running when starting client machines. When a correctly configured client machine starts it writes in the log ' connected to <server ip>' and the feeds configuration will be same as the one in server. If you change it, you will be actually changing server's.
