I just set everything up on the host computer to publish two databases on the web. as i understand, all that my remote users need to to is put http://<ip address> to find the two dbs that are posted. I tried to access the dbs through iwp on a computer in my office and it worked fine, but when i tried it from home (on my pc that does not have filemaker), it said "cannot find server". is there something else i need to do? how can i share these databases to other computers outside my office?

thanks for your help.

Not a lot of information to go on, but since it works from inside your office and not from outside, it sounds like you have a firewall issue to me.

Hallo,

Another possibility might be the configuration of your adsl modem...

(i assume you use a modem, if not, forget this post....)

check NAT or NATP, specify in NATP the outside address and port(probably 80) and inside port and ip-address of the

We've had a similar problem here. Port 5003 has to be open for filemaker. This is for both filemaker 5 and 7.

Maybe this will help.
