2. While not mandatory, it is recommended to disable TCP/IPv6.
3. Ensure that a Static IP address is assigned.
4. Ensure that the Server's Power Plan Options is set to High Performance.
Before installing Pervasive and System Five onto a workstation, first, ensure that the workstation is correctly configured.
3. It is recommended that a Static IP address is assigned in a Client-Server Environment. However, this should be mandatory in a Peer-to-Peer environment.
4. Ensure that that workstation is in the same domain or workgroup as the server.
5. Ensure that the Workstation's Power Plan Options is set to High Performance.
This power saver option causes Windward Data to disconnects if the machine is left idle for a long time. This should be disabled to avoid such a problem.
To disable this option on Windows 7 Go to Control Panel –> Network Sharing Center–> Change Adapter Settings–> Local Area Connection (Right-Click then Properties)–>Click Configure to open NIC Properties–> Go to Power Management Tab and uncheck “Allow the computer to turn off to save power”. See the image below.
To disable this option on Windows XP Go to Control Panel –> Network Connection–> Local Area Connection (Right-Click then Properties)–>Click Configure to open NIC Properties–> Go to Power Management Tab and uncheck “Allow the computer to turn off to save power”. See the image below.
Along with this setting, its a good idea to verify the power setting as well.
Go to Control Panel–> Power Option/Settings–> Set “Turn Off Hard Disks” and “System Standby” option to Never. See the image below.
