Filemaker Server Help

[jeffe]

Hi Guyz,

I need help, I have been using Filemaker Advanced V9 for some time and previous versions. But I have never used the Filemaker Server and wanted to increase my knowledge skills and even purchase filemaker server.

I have downloaded the trial version of Filemaker Server 9. I have installed it using (no-ip) I have also open ports 5003, 16000 & 16001. If I open the client "Filemaker Advanced V9" on the same machine, I can see the file which is being hosted by the server. Works great.

Now If I open another laptop and try to connect using Filemaker Advanced 9 Via the no-ip address I don't get any file's hosted by the server. I have even tried to connect using the actual IP address but I always get "File could not be opened. Either the host is not available or the file is not available on the host.

Tried turning off the firewall and that did not help either. Please what am I doing wrong?

FMForums rocks....

& Thanks in advanced for any ideas.
