Server Advanced 8.0v4 ODBC/JDBC connectivity and Mac OS X 10.3.9

[vasci]

I cannot get WIndows or Mac ODBC clients to connect to FM Pro Server advanced 8.0v4 running on OS X 10.03.9.

The Filemaker knowledge base #6451 says

"FileMaker Server Advanced 8.0v4 and Mac OS X 10.3.9

FileMaker Server Advanced 8.0v4 ODBC/JDBC connectivity does not work properly when the Mac OS X 10.3.9 update is applied. FileMaker, Inc. is aware of this problem.

A workaround is to not apply the Mac OS X update or to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) where ODBC/JDBC connectivity works properly."

When I do a port scan, or netstat -a it is obvious that port 2399 is NOT open on the host. Does anyone have an idea what 10.3.9 'broke'. It is not an easy option for us to upgrade to 10.4 server.

[ I see this was discussed in a previous thread - no solution apparently]
