How do I set the database server and competition?

[Chris]

Just click on ‘Change Database’ and pick the server from the drop-down list.
If the computer you want to use isn’t listed, you can then either click the List All button. This can take a minutes while it searches the local network for database servers.

If the computer still isn’t listed, you can just type its name in the Server box to see if it can be resolved.

Some network configurations don’t allow the name to be resolved in this way, in which case you can try typing in the computer’s “IP address”. (This looks something like 192.168.1.23). To find out the IP address of your server, go to the server and run a command prompt (‘cmd’). Type ‘ipconfig’ and then copy the IP address from the network adaptor you are using.

Once you have connected to the database server, it will list the available competitions. Pick one of these to continue.
