I am tying to install FileMaker server 5 on a windows 2000 small business server which is running Internet Security and Acceleration server (ISA Server). The ISA filewall client is also installed on win 2k workstations. The server has 2 network cards(1 lan, 1 to router / web). The overall network is running fine.. However I install filemaker server on the win 2k server machine - check the settings and make sure filemaker server is broadcasting on the correct (LAN) ip.

The service starts fine. However none of the clients can see the FileMaker server?:?? I have tried just about anything including installing filemaker server on another machine and still no luck. I am assuming the problem lies with the firewall aspect of the ISA server and have tried multiple configurations with this and still no luck ( If anyone can help with this problem or can throw up some ideas it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

You say you have checked it is broadcasting on the correct IP - you need to check that the network card connected to lan is the network card with ID 0.

Secondly, your fiewall - you need to set the configuration so that it allows access to port 5003 have you done this?

Ed.

I think that the LAN card is device 0, I even tried disabling the other card and also tried an install on seperate workstation (1 net card) - seems to make no difference.

I am new to ISA Server - As far as I could see I enabled 5003 on local lan - even tried a large port range - again seems to make no difference - It could be a combination of things but I have to say this is the first time I have seen this problem with an fm server install and I am completely baffled!

Why not FM server on cheap HW with W2K *client* OS and single NIC?

Where's the baby?
