I like this. Thanks. I still wonder why/how the syntactical differences
between A and B effect the semantics.

May I suggest:
You can ingest from any computer that is on your network and meets
requirements.
Good luck!

Subject: Grammer question
I can't decide which of the following two expression is preferable:
A. You can run ingest jobs from any computer that meets requirements in
your network.
Vs.
B. You can run ingest jobs from any computer in your network that meets
requirements.
The requirements mentioned pertain to the computer, not the network.
I am leaning toward B, but I am not sure why. Thoughts?
