missing hosts

[VFXdbGuy]

We are serving a number of files on Server 7 running on a Server 2003 box. On a regular basis when using the Open Remote command, the Local Hosts view in the Open Remote File dialogue will not display the server. Changing the View to Favorite Hosts or Hosts listed by LDAP and then switching back to Local Hosts will get the server to display.

This always happens on clients when Filemaker 7 is run for the first time but it happens regularly on all clients on an intermittent basis. So far I have suggested that all clients save the server as a Favorite Host but I wonder why Local Hosts has this issue.

Does anyone know what would cause this and if there is a solution?
