Is connection string of your sql server is correct in your application.   Remember to mention the full ip in connection string in your application.    OR    If it is a shared folder access issue, then you need to re-map the shared folder correctly.

Hi Vishal, If you want to run your desktop application in LAN network, then you need to follow some steps:-   1. Firstly, Put your database in some centralized location. For example you can put your database on cloud platform or in any host environment.    2. Secondly, In connection string, give the path of that database cloud or online server. And even you can put the database on one computer in LAN. And in connection string, just give the ip of that computer in server name in connection string.     3. Now, you can install & run your windows application in 2 or more computers. Your application will use the centralized database.    If you still have any confusion, just message me. I will be help you.
