Here is what I need help with.

I want to create a network consisting of three computer that are not connected to the internet. I want one computer to be my database server running SQL Server. The other two computer will access the database that is on that computer by using an application I created in VB. All computer will be running VISTA. My questions are first, how to I set up the network and second, how to I get the computers that are running the application (computers 2 and 3) to access the database on that computer. Is that just in the config string?

Thanks for any help. I'm not sure where to start.

config string www.connectionstrings.com To access the database, install a client app on each computer.

Bear in mind, vista is not optimized for a network server. Look into windows 2003 or 2008 servers.
