HSS Networking guide for Windows 2000
	HSS Networking guide for Windows XP (Updated Mar. 7, 2006)

1. Designate a PC as the HSS server.  It needs to be a windows 2000 or Windows XP computer.
2. Turn OFF or uninstall firewall software on the LOCAL network connection.  You can leave the firewall enabled on dialup or highspeed internet connections, so you maintain your protection against external threats.
   Examples of firewall software:

   	Windows Firewall
   	Zone-Alarm
   	McAfee firewall
   	McAfee antivirus (recent versions)
   	Norton Antivirus 2005 - "Internet Worm Protection" component - See the XP networking guide for details.
   	Norton Internet Security

   Firewall software prevents your computers from communicating properly with the server. 
   Important: If you are communicating on the internet, you should ensure that the Internet connection is properly fire-walled. 

3. Share the C:\HSSV3 folder on the server.  Make sure the share permissions allow "Everyone" to have FULL rights to the share.
4. Run DCOMCNFG as explained in the HSS Networking guide.  DCOMCNFG is a tool used to configure the security system on the server computer to allow the HSS server component to communicate with workstations.
