Hi All,

Is there any documentation with step by step instructions on how to open up
a pc (windows 7 Professional 64bit) to the net so a DBISAM database can be
exposed to the internet. It's for a very small application, and I just want
the users to be able to access the database remotely.
I know how to setup the users and database inside the "Server Administration
Utility", I'm just not sure what has to be setup on the pc so a remote user
can connect.

Cheers,
Paul

I don't think there is psecific docs for this as its same as for any
other app in the world :

1. PC must be running the dbsrvr and dbsrvr must istening on the PC
proper accessible IP address (so not on 127.0.0.1. It listen on all IPs
by default so unless you have reconfigured it just starting it with
defaults is fine). Configuring it as a service might beneficial as well
so its always running even after PC reboot.

2. You also need to configure your firewall to forward port traffic on
TCP port 12005 to the PC. If you wish to use the administration utility
remotely you also need to do same for port 12006. Again these are
defaults - use appropriate ports if you have changed them.
