Filemaker Pro 5 and -1072 errors

[tazzito]

Has anyone had any problems running FMPro 5 on a brand new iMac running OS 9.0.4? The machine is hosting approx. 15 databases (it is not the server version of fmpro). There are 5 users who log into this machine to access the db's. Occassionally the users get booted out of the databases with a -1072 error. They are able to log in immediately. This usually occurs after they haven't used their machine for a little while. (approx. 15-30 minutes of inactivity) The user machines are running MacOS from 8.1 - 8.6. This can also happen if a user is accessing the database from offsite via TCP/IP. The db's were hosted on a different machine with os 8.x previously and this did not occur. I'm not sure if this is an OS 9 thing or not. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanx in advance!

According to the Trio OsErrs Database, a -1072 error is "Session closed (aspSessClosed)"

I don't know exactly what this means, but, it gives you a good starting point

-1071 errors occur when the network connection to the host has been lost. Could be anything from a bad cable connection on the hosting computer to a "sleep" setting in the energy saver control panel.

opps! I did mean -1072.

On the Macs, if you are running via TCP/IP, you should go into the Advanced User Mode of TCP/IP window, click the Options button and UNcheck "Load only when needed." This keeps the TCP/IP from going to sleep.
