Static or Dynamic IP?

Medisoft v11 SP4 - Do you have a recommendation for which IP address type is best suited for v11?

TCPIP?
Net BUII?
IPV4?
IPV6?

Thank you.

If this is a single-user version of Medisoft, then none of this matters because no networking is involved.

On Network Pro you need TCP/IP - IPv4. The server should have a static IP but the clients can be dynamic IP. Any clients that are also running interfaces such as Communication Manager or Lab Connect should also have a static IP. You have to use IPv4 because Medisoft v11 will not run on Windows Vista and that is the first Windows operating system that supported IPv6.

Thank you once again, for your insight.
