Common Settings

These settings should be checked and adjusted whenever a new configuration of PCs is made, or if changes in the network happened.

• Check "Enable" to enable multiclient functionality

• Adapter: Select the network interface - in case you have multiple NICs on your system

All VIOSO 6 instances must use the adaptor from the same network. E.g.: PC1: 192.168.49.10, PC2: 192.168.49.11, etc This will not work: PC1: 192.168.0.10 , PC2: 192.168.20.11
