"FileMaker cannot share or be a client of a file

because the networking stack could not be initialized."

It seems to hapen when a batch script written this way:

START C:MyFilesMySolution.fp7

...is executed. Shouldn't be so that the documents postfix would appeal to relevant application. Here a single client version with server'ish tasks to perfrom in a small peer2peer environment?

No Idea what it means, but we just (as in today) started seeing it on after pushing out an automated 8.5 install (Windows XP boxes). Only a handfull of users are seeing it and any attempt to open a remote file triggers it.

Did you find a solution?

Reinstall?

"Please check to make sure that your server.pem file [located in the root folder of where FileMaker Pro/FileMaker Pro Advanced, i.e. C:Program FilesFileMakerFileMaker Pro 8] is around 5 KB.

If it's any smaller than that, then chances are that file is corrupt and can cause this error message to appear. You may be able to copy the server.pem file from a working FileMaker Pro 7 or 8 computer to the computer exhibiting the issue and test."

We have the probnlem with FMPro7.03 on Vista where it says it can't load the stack. Have tried swapping the server.pem file, and resetting WINSOCK, but no luck (based on the FM Note: http://filemaker.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/filemaker.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=213).

It means I can't access our database at all? Some other Vista users are connecting, but they are on FMPro7.01 Any suggestions? :B

Some Vista machines do run FMPro7, but it is flakey. We connect to an FM7 Server (running on an OSX server) - would an FMPro9 client be able to connect happily to the FM7 server, or would both have to be upgraded?
