I'm aware that there are a number of ways to get to the data. The Web browser is too great for WAN but on the LAN I want more speed. The topology is unclear in the documentation. What is the recommended setup for LAN? Can one local machine share the DB on another or only &quot;sync&quot; to it?

I'm testing the demo ACT 2011 Web version for our company. I'm a little confused about the expected topology. I have installed the Web version on a Win2003k VPS on Xen Server and I've created a test DB. <br />
<br />
I also have 2011 Premium on my local machine and can access local db's here. <br />
<br />
How can I access the DB on the VPS? Can I access the DB via IP?
