Hello
I installed Alfresco Community 4.0.d in my computer win 7, now i want to enter on Alfresco from another computer.
Premade: i'm not very expert.
1) I need Alfresco installed in the other pc?
2)I need a Lan client-server where the pc with alfresco is the server?
3)How can i accesso from the other pc?

Thanks.

Assuming both machines are on your home network, go to your Windows machine where Alfresco has been installed, open a command-line terminal and type ipconfig. You're looking for the IP address of your local machine. It will probably look something like 192.168.0.14 or something fairly close to that.

Now go to the other machine on your home network, open a browser, and go to http://192.168.0.14:8080/alfresco (using whatever IP address you determined to be running on your Alfresco machine. You should see the Alfresco login page. If you don't you might have a firewall rule on the Alfresco Windows machine that is preventing that. You may have to tell your Windows firewall to allow connections on port 8080.

You may also want to edit the hosts file on your other machine to add a friendlier name, like:
192.168.0.14  alfresco.home

That way, you don't have to remember the IP address–you can just type http://alfresco.home:8080/alfresco and go right to it.
