Well that worked! Creating and .msi network image file gives you the
option to designate the server name. As soon as this .msi was installed
on the Client it found the server, and will not start if not connected
to the network as expected.
Am I crazy or did there used to be another option where you could
install AutoCAD Network with out creating a .msi??? I'm thinking like
back to AutoCAD 2005?
