Need advixe re FMP Server & Windows NT

[John Chamberlain]

I think I have painted myself into a corner. I agreed to set up some data bases for The Wellness Community (a non-prof that offers free support to cancer victims and their families). I have all the data bases integrated, and they all work just the way they should (I hope). My problem is in setting up the server.

I have a copy of FMP Server 3 for Windows NT, and a copy of Windows NT 4.0. I thought I could just put the Windows NT on a computer, then install the FMP Server, and plug it into the network's router. I can't get past the installation of the Windows NT yet, Don't think that this is a problem, but I have to get Microsoft to give me a new password because I bought it used on Ebay.

My question is (providing I can first get the Windows NT installed and working), am I spinning my wheels trying to get this scheme to work?

Not really, you should be fine. Although you are running old, unsupported software on an old, unsupported OS for a non-profit organization. However many people run Filemaker Server on Windows NT 4.1 with the latest patches. In fact Filemaker only just recently certified on Win2k (which replaces WinNT).
