How to initialize client and server if both exes are located in a network share but are running in the same PC

[desarrollo03TR]

I have two apps that are using named-pipe-weapper, bot apps, client and server are executed from a network share but are running in the same PC.

When I run both apps from local harddrive it works fine, but running from the network share is not working.

Any idea how to initalize client and server?

EDIT: I'm using the name of the machine as connection name instead ".". It works on some machines (3 Windows 10) but it fails in a Windows 7 and in a Windows Server machine.
