There is no error #, just the 'connection timed out' notice

I am trying to connect from Windows XP machine to FMServer 8 advanced running on a different PC. ODBC driver installed, xDBC plugin enabled, everything seems to be set correctly. However, when going to 'Test connection' or trying to browse for file, I get [datadirect][odbc sequelink driver][sequeLink client]TCP/IP error,connection timed out. When run netstat on the server PC, I get port 2399 as listening. Could it be that there are some firewalls blocking the connection? We have a separate department taking care of that so I have no idea what they block or how.

Update. Changed the webviewer setup to [color:brown]If ( Abs(Get ( SystemPlatform ))=2 ; "file://" & table::docs_path ; "smb://" & table::docs_path ) Now instead of "file is directory" in the webviewer on Mac we get "Loading..." and the path. The content of the folder does not show. Anybody can help with this?

I am trying to use webviewer for displaying content of a directory. The "custom web address" is defined as [color:brown]"file://" & Project::Documents_folder_path It works fine on PC. I can see directory, drag-and-drop, delete etc. However, when using Mac, all I get in the viewer is "file is directory". I am not familiar with Macs. Maybe anybody can give my advice on how to fix this. Thanks.
