local host vs specify host

Featured Replies

So, I've got my files on the PC server now. To access the files, my users need to "Specify Host". How do I configure it so that it is the "Local Host"? I don't want to have to specify the host on everyone's machine.

Right now, I still have a Mac running with a server as well. The Mac is showing as the local host. Can only one server be the local host? Is it a network thing?

Thanks in advance,

When you open the hosts dialog and click on local hosts you should see all the hosts in your subnet, automatically. As long as your users are in the same subnet they should see the files that are being shared.

One thought is did you make sure that the files are set to sharing multi-user.

File >> Sharing

To avoid all this, you could just create an opener database that opens the files for the user with a simple script. (search for opener script in FMFORUMS)

hope this helps
