[mapguide-users] Connecting to remote files using mapagent [please help]

[Mansoureh Sadrykia]

I'm using MGOS 1.1, Is there something similar or I shall  install MGOS 1.2.
   
  By the way would you please explain me how are the IP addresses of different servers are defined when we add servers in manage servers in mg admin site?
