Get FM client version 3 or 4.

Put the multi-user databases in FMS and share them over TCP/IP.

Start client and press Open -- HOST -- pick database and select Open.

Check the following:

Have you set FMS to use the TCP/IP protocol ?

Have you set the client to use the TCP/IP protocol ?

Are you running any kind of software firewall on the NT server or the Clients, and if so, have you allowed the FMP specific ports to be opened ?

Are the clients and the NT server on the same subnet ?

Can you ping the server from the clients, and vice versa ?

Just my 0.02
