Hello,
I have posted this before, however now it has become very troublesome. This is my set up: I am a solo doc, with A Main computer (that is NOT a server) and 3 clients all connected via Wireless. All the computers run on Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
My problem is that at least once a week, randomly, my clients cannot find my database. I have used the great advice on these columns such as keeping all computers Awake all the time, as well as preventing the wireless adapter from sleeping, however the issue still randomly persists. Although I would prefer all my computers to be hardwired (instead of wireless), the cost will be slightly expensive because of the logistics in the office.
Therefore, I would like to know would getting a server solve this problem, or do I bite the bullet and install everything hardwired? Or do I need a server and hardwire?
I would rather get a server first just to free up the Main computer but I appreciate your feedback.
