Comet and Windows Remote Desktop or Terminal Services

This page applies to the following:

Comet Server software previously relied on the client's IP address to distinguish between one comet and another.

Comet Services must be installed as Windows Services. In particular, a single instance of the Comet File server must be available to all users simultaneously.
