# Running the SimpleNetworkClientSample program

To connect to the Network Server that has been started with the SimpleNetworkServerSample program:

1. Open a command prompt and change directories to the%DERBY_HOME%\demo\nserverdemo directory, where %DERBY_HOME% is the directory where you installed Derby.
2. Set the classpath to include the following jar files:
   - The current directory (".")
   - derbyclient.jar
3. After you set up your environment correctly, run the SimpleNetworkClientSample program from the same directory:

       java SimpleNetworkClientSample

   If the program runs successfully, you will receive output similar to that shown in the following example:

       Starting Sample client program
       Got a client connection via the DriverManager.
       connection from datasource;
       Got a client connection via a DataSource.
       Testing the connection obtained via DriverManager by executing a sample query
       number of rows in sys.systables = 16
       Testing the connection obtained via a DataSource by executing a sample query
       number of rows in sys.systables = 16
       Goodbye!
