Host could not be found on the network.

Filmaker Pro 5.0

Windows XP sp2

The database has been in use for years. Sharing is set to TCP/IP. Firewall (default windows firewall) has been set to not block filemaker. Confimed that Port 5003 is not in use prior to launching Filemaker. Confirmed that filemaker attaches to port 5003 when launched. We can ping the host.

No errors are reported when the database is opened. Dialog boxes confirm that the file is open in maulti-user mode and that we are the host. When we atttempt to open the database from another machine we receive the error message"ASR_PTDB.fp5" is currently in use and could not be opened. The file is single-user, or the host could not be found on the network.

Any other ideas? thank you.

Excuse me if you think this is daft, but you are using the open remote inside filemaker, and the OS filesharing is turned off for the folder where the solution reside?
