***** RESOLVED - FEEL FREE TO DISREGARD *****

Greetings All,

I have a non-wireless local network with two Vista Home Premium Machines where one has FMP 8 and is connecting remotely over the network to a file on the other machine (opened with FMP 8.5 advanced).

Today we decided to test out one of our internal files on FMP9. We each downloaded and installed the trial version without a hitch...

However, whenever the primary machine tries to turn on network sharing in FMP9 (trial) it pops up an error message saying "FileMaker cannot share or be a client of a file because the networking stack could not be initialzed."

After hitting 'OK' (the only option) it will visually show that FMP sharing is on, but after trying any obvious options at sharing there is no connection...

I am wondering if they turned off networking on the Trial version with intent?

Or am I hitting on some Bug?

Or do I simply have to find something to tweak on one/both of our computers?

(or 'Other' is always an option too I suppose

Thanks for any insight!

My apologies... I should have gone one level deeper before coming here. Searched "networking stack" in FMP's knowledge base and immediately had an answer.

Fixed and working great now! :(
