[mapguide-users] Using .NET Api to connect from a different Machine

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

The file "webconfig.ini" must be changed to point to the correct server 
instead of "127.0.0.1".
Its under the section [SiteConnectionProperties]
IpAddress                          =127.0.0.1
Port                               = 2812

You might also have to copy some of the folders referenced in there, 
depending on what you want to do.
I would not recommend doing this over the internet, because the data 
transmitted over the wire ends up in the MapGuide server process which 
runs in the "Local System Account".
