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

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

AFAIK, it should work then.
Do you have both port 2812 and 2811 open on both machines?

Since you are using .Net, you could also use the Web API.

I have wrapped most of the calls in the MaestroAPI, so they appear to be 
native .Net classes:
