Re: Client and server on the same computer?

I asked the same question of someone working on his MSCE. He said that his manuals say that it will work as long as the client & server are on different directories. I know no more - like how or whether it really works.

btw, when working with a stand alone pc - what is the host name? More to the point, where could I find it for my stand alone pc?

hth & tyia,
