WE are in the middle of a FM9 re-write, but in the meantime have to keep the old FM6 system operational.

Problem Details below:

We have a FileMaker Server 5.5 installation on Windows Server 2003 SP1. The client base is a mix of Macs (OS X) and PC’s (XP).

After 3-4 hours when between 25 and 30 users are logged on if any of the Macs log off they will not be able to log back on. They can click on the Hosts button and it brings up the file list, but when they choose one it just sits there with a spinning wheel.

PC’s are unaffected.

Server Settings:

No. of Users: 60

Idle Time out: 30 mins.

Cache: 40MB

No of Files: 125 (actual No. of files is 122)

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

FMS 5.5 predates Server 2003 and there are know issues with running FMS 5.5 on that platform. Haven't heard of this particular issue though. Do you have a Win2000 box around to install FMS on?

Are the Mac clients on a different part of the network then the PCs?
