Is My FileMaker Serving

[Juniper]

Can anyone test this to see Thanks in advance

Nope, still not serving... why'd you start a whole new thing topic for this?

Did you forward port 591?

[Juniper]

I went into my router settings and set UDP from 591 to 591 and another TCP 591 to 591. Now when I go to sharing is shows http://10.0.0.1:591

so I thought It would work.

I made a mistake in starting a new topic., what I meant to do was to put the question in the OS X forum as I thought it might be a MAC problem. I might have to put my PC XP on the to see if It serves.

Okay, that sounds right.. are you sure you forwarded them to the right ip though -- is 10.0.0.1 the ip of the pc your fm pro is running on and did you forward those ports to this ip?

Most importantly, are you SURE that's still your ip? Go to www.whatismyip.com and confirm.

Yep, all good - you're up :(

[Genx]

And i left you a little message to-boot lol.

[Juniper]

Thank you very much for all your help. I can now go to sleep. I works wooow. I still don't know if I need TCP or UDP , that is why I have set both.

[Genx]

I believe you need TCP though I can't be sure. TCP ensures that every packet is delivered successfully -- UDP is sort of like a rush of packets where nothing is checked (but it goes twice as fast).

btw, you have to chuck :591 at the end of the address when putting it in a browser to make it work remember.

OK , do you mean http://121.221.3.87:591/fmi/iwp ?

[Genx]

Ahhhh, it stopped working!!

Lol, undo whatever you just did - unless you deliberatly did it in which case...

[Juniper]

I have restarted

[Genx]

Lol, yeh, here's your final address:

http://121.221.3.87:591

[Juniper]

Cool. AudioFreak has created a record.

I am very impressed with this as data just appears in my database and am editing it without a browser myself

lol yeah

[Juniper]

Thanks for testing , now how to keep others out when I put up my accounting system? I guess use login account

[Genx]

Yes, setup a username and password, disable access via iwp for guest account.

Anyway, 2am, bed time. Good luck eh?
