Hi, previusly I had a win XP machine working as "server" running FMs5.5...it had the win firewall disabled ...and it working in remote. Now we change this PC with a new Win server 2008r2 to allow installation of FMS15 I will check adding a rule to firewall for the fm ports...

Hi Agnes, the firewall is turned off and the port are forwarded as TCP

Hi, thank you for fast response. The ports a re forwarded but it strage that if I make a ping to wanIP it work but if i test the ports here http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ It say that are closed

Hi, the firewall is ok and the port forwarding it targeted to the IP aasigned to server and to filemaker server...any suggestion?

Hello, I have a filemaker server 15 advanced running on windows server 2008r2 in a local LAN network. I want to connect to server with client (filemaker 15 pro). Everything work well in the local LAN but I am unable to access to the database outside the office using internet connection and IP. I just have made the port forwarding setup (5003 and 16000) but no results. Maybe the Windows server need to be opened in some service or funcionality? Before of the server I had a simepl windows XP pc running filemaker server 5.5 and it work well also outside the lan. Thank you

Thank you Wim. In effect was the "extenal datasource" . There was a lot of orphan link of old PCs, IP direction etc ...all stored during 10 years. Simply I edit all the field leaving " file:nameoffileFP15"

Hello, I am using l am filemaker 15 pro advanced in windows 10 computer (64 bit, 8gb ram). I buy it few week ago and i converted my database from the old version fm5. The database work properly but it is very slow to open, about 60 second or more. I am working as standalone (no remote connection). I noted thta if the PC is offline (no network or internet connection) the database open in less that 6 second. It is very strange because I have not any ip configuration and any sharing option... what can be the problem? Thank you in advance Vincenzo

I found a used copy on ebay of FM server 8 upgrade. So I am interested to buy it (is cheaper that a new version of the same) but i am not secure if filemaker pro 6 will work then

Hello, yes I am still working with FMserver 5.5. The problem is I have also FMpro 6...if i install fmserver 8 it will work?

Hello, sorry I know it is a very old post...but please can I have the scripts to change the defoult directiory? I try the shortcut but they don't work Thank you Vincenzo
