  NOTE: For performance reasons, the web server should not be shared with other applications, such as a standard HTTP server or a mail server.
  
  
• LAN My C&P! X requires a local area network running TCP/IP. The My C&P! X web server also needs a permanent connection to the file server that contains the Clients & Profits database.
  
  
• Internet Connection A full-time, high-speed connection (DSL, cable, T1, etc.) is recommended for best performance. Slower internet connections will work, but will support fewer concurrent users. The My C&P! web server also needs a fixed IP address.
  
  
• Web Browsers The My Clients & Profits! web server can be accessed by any web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Safari on any computer (e.g., Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.) with an internet connection. My C&P! is optimized for Safari. Firefox is compatible but has some JavaScript-based limitations.
  
  
• Clients & Profits My Clients & Profits! X requires Clients & Profits Classic 10.x, Clients & Profits Pro 10.x, or Job Tracker 10.x. A special client/server version for Oracle8 or Microsoft SQL Server is available for Clients & Profits SQL.

• How it Works The My C&P! web server acts as a "gateway" between the shop's Clients & Profits database and any number of Netscape or Internet Explorer users. A user opens Netscape or Explorer then logs onto the My C&P! server by entering a specified web address (such as "http://my.clientsandprofits.com), their user ID, and their password. My C&P! verifies the user's ID and password, then displays a personalized "home" page. This home page contains links to the various client, job, and costing features available to them, as well as links to company and industry news, a company calendar, and an optional online company handbook. The My C&P! web server serves customizable web pages using real-time data from the Clients & Profits database. Users can add jobs, update status reports, enter hours on time cards, and track costs using only a web browser.
  
  
• Performance While the My Clients & Profits! web server should work on a wide variety of existing hardware, it's performance on any specific configuration is not guaranteed. There is no artificial limit on how many users can access the My Clients & Profits! web server. The actual number of concurrent users supported by My C&P! is based on the ability of your hardware, network, and internet connection to handle the volume.
  
  
• Users Since the My C&P! web server needs a constant connection to the shop's Clients & Profits database, it counts as one concurrent user. For example, if you have a 10-user version of Clients & Profits and install My C&P!, you will now have 9 "slots" available for users.
  
  
• Security Web pages from the My Clients & Profits! web pages can only be accessed by users who log in with a valid ID and password. My Clients & Profits! does not support SSL, so it can't establish secure connections between the web server and a user's browser. User web passwords should be changed frequently to prevent unauthorized users from seeing the shop's web pages. While the information in your web pages are reasonably safe from unauthorized access, it is possible for data from your web pages to be "sniffed" while moving through the internet. Clients & Profits, Inc. will not be held liable for security breaches of your My C&P! web server.
  
  
• Support Technical support for My Clients & Profits! will be limited to questions about installing, setting up, running, and managing the My C&P! web server. The C&P Helpdesk can offer only limited help for troubleshooting network, internet, and system problems involving My Clients & Profits! In addition, the C&P Helpdesk does not provide technical support for TCP/IP, Windows, networks, or for configuring your server hardware or network.
