Hi,

Not sure if i'm allowed to post my question here because it concerns FMPro's peer-to-peer capabilities and not FM Server really.

I have the following situation. An Xserve server and 2 clients, an imac 17" and an ibook, both running Mac OsX version 10.2.8 (being the minimum for FM Pro 7). I've installed one serial number on the server and two different serial numbers on the clients. So, no serial conflicts whatsoever.

I've openend 12 databases on the server and enabled TCP/IP sharing. I made sure the databases are accessible to "all users" and they are not marked hidden in the hosts list. I have also disabled all firewall software on both clients. All FmPro 7 versions were updated to v7.0.3. The server is english while the clients are dutch (Belgium)

From the clients, when i choose "open remote", I can see the server ,acting as host but I don't see any of the databases. (yes tcp/ip is ok, i'm able to ping the server)

When simulating "open remote" on the server, it can see itself as host and it can also see all the databases.

I already searched the internet, the filemaker knowledgebase and fmforums but no similar situations.

Any suggestions

In FMServer, each file must have the permissions set to allow fmsadmin read/write permissions. I don't know if FMP has the same requirement but worth a try.
