Making an app run on a local area network.

[Woody Splawn]

I realize I have asked this question before and the answer is slowly
becoming clearer but I do not yet quite have it in place. I have a VB.net
application that I have written from a client machine of a local area
network. The LAN has a dedicated file server. The solution is located in a
shared directory of the LAN's file server The drive letter is F. The
application is bound to a SQL Server 2000 database that also resides in a
shared directory on the F drive of the file server.

My application works on the machine I am using but then I have a full blow
copy of VS 2003 installed on the machine. I would like to be able to run
the application from other machines on the local area network. These other
machines all have Windows XP Pro installed and the .net framework.

What do I need to do in order for this to happen? If I understand correctly
I do not have to even worry about creating a .MSI file; I can simply point
the other machines to the .exe file that is created in the Bin directory of
the application that, again, is located in a shared directory of the server.
Is this right? What else do I need to do in order to make (allow) this
application to run from other machines on the Local Area Network?

I forgot to mention in my original message that this is not a web
application. It is non web.
