Hmmm....I used to be working on a database using Instant Web Publishing and it worked fine. But I got frustrated when I started having problems with it and stopped using it for a while, Anyways, I came back to it and I no longer view the page on-line. It won't find it. My problem is that I can't remember enough about the program to troubleshoot it. I don't know if I changed a setting on it or something, but whatever happened it won't go on-line. I have Web Companion setup, and the lugins are all turned on. I have it set up to share over TCP/IP...I just can't think of any reason why it isn't working.

One thing I suspect might be a problem is that in between the last time I used it and now is that our district installed a proxy server to filter web content. So no computer can access the net unless the proxy addy is set on that machine and the port is changed. Might that be a problem? I changed the port number on the Web Companion Configuration menu, but that still doesn't work.

This prolly is reading like greek to you guys, but if anyone can help I would be very greatfull. Thanks much

Matt

I wouldn't suspect the proxy server, I'd bet on it. Did they ut in a firewall as well?

I had a similar problem. My solution was to set the port in Filemaker for the Web Companion to 8080. Then I was able to access it over: http://youDomainOrIPNumber:8080. Didn't work with any other port number, as the proxy and firewall settings wouldn't allow it.

So give it a shot with Port 8080.

Is FileMaker network sharing set for muti-user? I have forgotten this one a few times.

It does not matter single or multi for web. Just the WebCompanion must be ON.

It was the proxy server. We put it on an IP outside the proxy and it works. Kinda
