Client-Server technology
-------------------------

Secure Network Chat works on client-server technology. It means you should install SNCServer (Secure Network Chat Server) on one computer of your network. Then you can install several SNCClients (Secure Network Chat Clients) on several computers of your network. Then you should let your chat client know where Server is located (you should configure server IP address and port number or use default settings).

For example:

If you have network with 15 computers, you should install Secure Network Chat Server (run SNCServer.exe) on one computer. And Secure Network Chat Clients (run SNCClient.exe) on other 14 computers. It is easy as 1-2-3!
