Santosh,

A UNIX Hobbit server can support Windows clients. However, there are no native windows clients, so people use either the Big Brother windows client (available under the "better than free" license under specific conditions) or a separately-developed Windows client called BBWin.

The details for setting up the Windows client vary by client. In each case, you have to tell the client the IP address of the Hobbit server, so they know where to send status updates. Each client has their own startup method. I am most familiar with the BB Windows client, and it runs as a service, and there is a configuration program you can run to set the various parameters. Once this is set, the client runs automatically.

Did you read the documentation included in BBWin? It answers most of your questions.
