FMS8 only allowing 1 client at a time

[ibman]

We are using FMS 8.x (latest update) on Mac OS 10.4.11 with 3 databases to serve 5 local FMP 7.x clients all on Macs. Everything was working fine for several months but today only 1 client at a time is able to connect - any of the 5 can connect but only one at a time.

We have reinstalled FMS, set all permissions, etc. We opened each file in FMP, after closing FMS, and did a Save As to remove potential corruption. Still no luck. I am told (I am not onsite) that after the Open Remote process at each client a dialog box asks for guest vs. reg. user which is a new occurrence.

What is going on and how do we correct it?

Well, the most obvious thing to check is that the number of allowable guests didn't get set to 1. Check that in the SAT Tool.
