Remote Accessing FMP DB using URL in Browser

Hi Folks,

I've been trying to access my FMP6.0 DB's in my LAN using the FMP5://ip.address/filemakerDB.fp5 with absolutely no success. I can see my databases if I use the File>Open>Hosts or if I type in my ip address, but I cannot see it if I type the FMP5://... information in my browser. As this is internal, firewalls are not the issue. My configuration is:

1) Windows 2k server (brand new)

2) FMP6.0 Unlimited using port 591 because of IIS using port 80

3) Databases are multiuser and set to share remotely

4) Instant web publishing is being used

I'm hoping you kind folks can help me through this.

Cheers.

Are you trying to view the web form for the database or open the DB via the web URL?

http://ipaddress:591/default.htm should display the web form

FMP5://ipaddress:591/filemakerDB.fp5 should open the database

Try specifying the port number (:591), see if that helps. Also try to view the web form see if you can get through.

I'm not sure exactly what your trying to do, but maybe one of these suggestions might help...good luck...
