mac Missing available Hosts in v10

[Plucky]

Hi

I Have just installed Filemaker v10.0.3 on a new MacBook pro running 10.8 and found I can 

see my hosted server but no available hosts.

 

I have other computers accessing the available databases on the network fine but they are running filemaker v9.0.3 and OS 10.5

 

The FM Server Advanced is version 9.0.2.151

Any ideas

Have you checked your firewall settings? At least port 5003 must be open for FileMaker.

 

See http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6427/kw/

 

for ports that apply to your configuration.

That FMS9 is now 4 generations old.. not sure if it can be expected to run well on 10.8... one thing to try since you can actually see the host: in the open remote, type in the full fmnet path to one of the hosted files to see if you can open it

 

Alos, back on the FMS machine, can you verify that the files are actually open and hosted?

Its ok now. I copied the 'server.pem' file from the 'Show package contents' of Filemaker Pro v9.03 on another networked mac

and placed it in my Filemaker Pro Advanced packaged contents and it work.

 

Filemaker Pro.app --> Show Package Contents --> Contents --> Mac OS / server.pem

 

Thanks for your help.

As Wim suggests, you can expect more anomalies running such an old version as Server 9 on a new OS. Server 9 is officially EOL.  it is no longer supported by FMI.
