Newbies Franklin Beaver Posted March 20, 2001 Newbies Share Posted March 20, 2001 What's the best way of setting up FM databases to be served to remote clients? Our sales people are asking for this for when they go on the road. I've been told that it's possible to access our FM databases through the Internet. Other advice has been to use a dial-in server. FM5 Sever currently resides on an NT server and hosts through TCP/IP over the LAN to Windows and Mac clients. The server is connected to the Internet through a router and T1 connection. Thanks, Franklin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatoli Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 No problem, just map the ports and IP's, in your case only the ports, because the IP will be variable. FM ports are registered at IANA authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies Franklin Beaver Posted March 21, 2001 Author Newbies Share Posted March 21, 2001 Anatoli, Thanks for the quick reply. I'm afraid that I need a little more direction though. I'm not an IT guy, I'm a video producer who gets stuck with the computer and networking issues at my company. Can you explain the process in more detail? Thanks.

Anatoli Posted March 22, 2001 Share Posted March 22, 2001 That depends on what you have there. You can ask our "servermaster" to do this setting remotely in case you are on NT server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
