Can't see host on network

[kyleknapp]

the computer I used to host my Filemaker 5 databases quit on me. So I've installed FMServer 5.5 on a new box (same OS, Windows XP). It worked fine the day I set it up, but the next day, the host is not visible from the client computers.

If I run Filemaker 5 (client) on the server box, it has no trouble finding the host and accessing the files, so I know they are open and hosted.

Any idea why my other workstations would have trouble?

(Please help! This is our invoicing and inventory system, so we can't sell anything until I get it resolved.)

Hello

I am a newbee. I am having a problem that I think you can help me to resolve.

The problem is we have FM5.5 installed on a 2003server1 and the client could connect to the server as host. We have a new server2 and the database of the old server1 was copied & pasted to the new server2. But the client is not seeing any of the database on the new server2 when they tried to open remote into the new server2. it gives this error message "files can not currently be shared with file maker networking because of a network error 10048". PLEASE HELP ME!!! The old server has been decommissioned.
