FMP 5.0 on Nt Server

[shierkev]

I have a copy of FMPro standard on Nt Server 4.0 sP6 and a client W98 with another copy of FMPro. When I open it on the Nt Server in multi user mode, I can't find it as a host from the W98 Client. When I do it the other way around, and open it first on the W98 machine, it works fine, I can open it as a guest from the Nt Server. Am I missing something?

I would like some suggestions.

TCP/IP protocol

Win 98 SE

Nt SERver 4.0 SP6

All other network things work fine.

I have no firewalls or anything turned on.

The W98 client just can't see the host, even in the host box when you go File->Open and click on hosts.

Is this a NT Server thing or just MY NT Server?

Any ideas?

Did you specify the NT server IP address?

I have exactly the same problem on a server with two network cards. The problem is (momentarily) solved when I desactivate one. Then, the Win98 client finds the host.

Do you have two network cards?

Hope this help...

Yes, I have 2 NIC's I haven't tried disabling one of them because it is critical to the operation.

Perhaps you're right.

Yesterday our ServerMaster sorted out 2 cards with FM server on one machine...

Email me if you need help. I will pass request to him. He can do the settings remotely via Internet.

Your Win98 client have a TCP/IP address like a server?? i.e. Server(191.161.1.1) client (191.161.1.10)

Have you checked your event Viewer to see if FMPro is reporting any issues?,

I had a similiar problem ( 2x DEC netcards) cards)and I found it to be an issue when I had IPX and IP both installed to support multi protocols.

Removed IPX and everything is fine.

Also check your interupt settings
