FM Server 5 Admin w OSX FM Pro 6 Advice

I run Filemaker Pro 5 from classic to access the remote filemaker server software. I have just setup a new G5 iMac 1.8 GHz with Panter 10.3.9 and installed Classic and FMPro 5

The problem i have is that when i try to access the remote file server classic gives me the error that AppleTalk is not turned on (not available). Classic offers no tools for turning this on. (Directory Access under OSX shows AppleTalk to be on).

I use the System Prefs>Network pane to turn on Appletalk. But it doesn't work. I tried turning it off too and still no go. What's weird is i use a dialup network so when i turn appletalk on or off the only place to do that is under the Airport or Built-In Ethernet tabs , neither of which i am using.

This setup works fine on my Ali PB 1.5 GHz 15" even with that notious CPU hog 10.4.2! But the powerbook hard drive is failing so i need to get the iMac up and running..

I would like to access the FM Server Administration tool from FM Pro 6 running under OSX but the server admin window allways tells me i have the wrong version of the FM Server Admin plugin installed. I have tried many different versions of the plug in.

Any ideas?

I'm not sure this will solve it, but try changing the FileMaker (classic) network type to TCP/IP in the client's application preferences (the server may also need to have TCP/IP sharing active, but you should be doing that anyway.)

This would be ideal, but perhaps it is not possible to use the server admin from FM6 on OS X to control Server 5 on OS 9. Maybe someone else knows more about this.

That did it!

What a dolt i am. Easy as pie. For some reason i kept thinking i had to use AppleTalk. TCIP is the way to go.

Now, if only i could find a Filemaker Server Admin plugin that will run on OSC FMPro 6 and work with FM Server 5 under OS9.
