Change the Wizbang path setting
Once you have the name or IP address of the Wizbang server you can now enter it into the Loaded configuration wizard. You will only need to change the first part of the string. Here are some examples.

Original : LOCALHOST:C:\Program Files\Wizbang\Waiter\IBWaiter.gdb
If your server computer name was alibi_server : alibi_server:C:\Program Files\Wizbang\Waiter\IBWaiter.gdb

Original : LOCALHOST:C:\Program Files\Wizbang\Waiter\IBWaiter.gdb
If your server IP address was 192.168.1.10 : 192.168.1.10:C:\Program Files\Wizbang\Waiter\IBWaiter.gdb

Once you have done this you should now be able to connect to the server and complete the configuration wizard.
