If you are just learning, stay on the server. There is no need for a client
unless your box isn't big enough to support all the operators you want connected
at once. The client buys you nothing if that is not the case, and just
complicates the picture. The client GUI and the server GUI are identical (same
code). They just reside in different places.
You are making this harder than it is. Just type in "netview" and go. Read the
"User's Guide for Beginners" and have at go at doing what things it talks about.
That's how to learn NetView

Hi
Thanks mike,I got the GUI.I was actually talking of this,I was actually wanting
to manage from server as I don't have any other machine now for the client and I
am just in the testing phase.So I understand that the Netview Client is just to
reduce the load on the Server and also for access to different operators.So how
is the client like,similar to the GUI which I have got now or even more
powerful.What do you suggest,should I get my client software installed
immediately or can I hang around with the Gui on Server till I get comfortable
and then proceed to client install.By then I hope to get another machine.
Thanks to James and Vladimir for your reply too
Regards
Robert

Heya
It's a bit misleading. The netview client is *part* of the server. I got
tripped up by the same thing until I just typed "netview". The gui came
right up!
HTH.
