AGENT.m6 program may work online through the INTERNET. The users of NET version of AGENT.m6 have two options of working online:
1. Without using of iAGENT.m6 - connection between AGENT.m6 and AGENT.m6 gives full range of options available in the program but as a result of huge amount of data that needs to be transferred the connection may be very slowly. 2. With using of iAGENT.m6 - connection between AGENT.m6 and iAGENT.m6gives possibility of using only basic functions of the program, less data needs to be transferred so the connection is much faster.
In both cases first thing to do is installation of Hamachi program. Hamachi provides a fixed IP address and possibility to work behind NAT as well as secure, encoded and protected by passwords data transmission through VPN (Virtual Private Network). Go to www.hamachi.cc site and install the latest version of Hamachi program on the same computer as your AGENT.m6 server program. When Hamachi is installed an icon
